CEPS PLC
("CEPS" or the "Company")
Acquisition by Hickton Group Limited of Millington Lord Limited
The Board of CEPS is pleased to announce that Hickton Group Limited ("HGL"), the Company's 54.7% subsidiary, has today completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Millington Lord Limited ("MLL") from GT Realisations Limited (formerly Gas Tag Limited) (the "Acquisition").
MLL is a holding company, with three wholly owned subsidiaries; Morgan Lambert Limited ("ML"), Qualitas Compliance Limited ("QC") and Morgan Lambert Electrical Limited ("MLE"). Neither MLL nor MLE are actively trading. The MLL group, which is based out of Selby, North Yorkshire, is a gas and electrical safety consultancy, providing auditing, consulting and training services. ML is the group's principal operating subsidiary and services clients in the social housing market, whereas QC provides the same services to private sector clients.
For the year ended 31 March 2020, the unaudited management accounts of each MLL group entity show profit before tax and nets assets as follows:
Profit before tax Net assets (GBP) (GBP) Millington Lord Limited Nil 816,315 Morgan Lambert Limited 258,667 1,089,733 Qualitas Compliance Limited 69,281 127,564 Morgan Lambert Electrical Nil Nil Limited
The consideration for the Acquisition is a maximum of GBP1.1 million and comprises a cash payment on completion of GBP700,000 plus a further GBP299,999 deferred, to be paid in two instalments; GBP150,000 on or before 30 June 2021; and GBP149,999 on or before 31 August 2021. An additional up to GBP100,000 may be payable, dependent on the combined MLL group achieving certain turnover targets over the same period. The Acquisition is being funded from existing cash resources within HGL.
The management team of MLL will continue to run the business post-acquisition. The services provided are complementary to the quality-focused activities of the current Clerks of Works and Corporate Approved Inspector businesses within HGL, and it is expected that there will be opportunities to cross-sell services across the respective clients, as well as exploiting the efficiencies that will come from the central resources that the enlarged group will be able to call upon.
As such, the Acquisition fits with HGL's strategy of broadening its service offering into complementary areas and working with management who are committed to developing their business further. The directors of CEPS ("Directors") believe that each group company will benefit from the relationship moving forward and as such that the Acquisition will be a valuable addition to the CEPS group of companies.
