News: Hydro-X acquired in multimillion pound deal
Hydro-X Group, a Rotherham-based specialist in water and air testing and Legionella risk assessments and control, has been acquired in a multimillion pound deal.
Now with a number of subsidiaries covering water treatment, air hygiene, engineering and health and safety training, the Dinnington firm has grown to be the country’s largest independent compliance company.
Marlowe plc, the UK leader in business-critical services and software which assure safety and regulatory compliance, has now announced that it has acquired the Hydro-X Group Ltd for a cash consideration of £30m.
The listed company was formed to create sustainable shareholder value through the growth and development of businesses that provide business-critical or compliance services and software.
Marlowe said that it had agreed to buy Hydro-x as it is "well-positioned in structural growth markets, providing a broad range of technical compliance services focused on water & air compliance, water treatment, fire safety and health & safety."
The business is set to be complementary to, and provides a number of attractive synergies with Marlowe's Testing, Inspection & Certification division, including cross-selling opportunities as well as a number of scale efficiencies, such as enhanced operational route density and the benefits from using Marlowe's existing sales, operational and back-office platforms.
