INFORMATION ON PTSG

The Group is a leading provider of access and safety services in the UK, a specialist in the design, installation and testing of electrical systems and also carries out high level cleaning services. It is headquartered in Castleford, West Yorkshire, with nine operational bases around the UK and a distribution centre in Castleford. PTSG has over 200 trained employees servicing many thousands of customers and buildings nationally.

The Group comprises three divisions, with operations in access and safety, electrical services and specialist/high level cleaning.

The Group was founded by John Foley, Paul Teasdale, Stephen Shipley and Bob Morton in 2007, with the objective of building the UK's leading niche specialist services provider through a combination of acquisition and organic growth. The first such acquisition was of an access and safety company, National Cradle Maintenance Limited, in 2007, which was funded by £0.9 million of equity from the founders. The eleven subsequent acquisitions, at a total consideration of £8.4 million, have been funded through debt and internally generated cash flows of the Group.

Whilst the Group has expanded through acquisition, subsequent organic growth has accounted for approximately half of the increase in total revenues since 2007. Cross selling of services into the respective customer bases of the separate divisions has helped deliver growth and is seen as a key opportunity going forward.

The Group's highly trained engineers operate out of ten regional bases, which all offer the full range of the Group's services, providing national coverage and relatively short response times for call outs. The Group is therefore able to service clients with multiple locations across the UK.
