("Speedy", "the Company" or "the Group")
Training acquisition
13 December 2018
Speedy, the UK's leading tools, equipment and plant hire services company, operating across the construction, infrastructure and industrial markets, today announces that it has acquired the entire issued share capital of training provider Geason Holdings Limited ("Geason") from Ian and Robert Kilpatrick and connected family trust companies.
Geason is a leading provider of construction and professional services training across the UK, operating from a head office in Glasgow, with over 1,100 apprentices and 500 NVQ learners currently on programmes. Geason's unaudited accounts for the twelve months to 31 October 2018 reported revenue of GBP8.3m, EBITA of GBP1.7m and gross assets of GBP2.6m.
Cash consideration paid on completion amounted to GBP9.0m with net cash assumed of GBP0.3m. Contingent consideration of up to GBP26.0m may be payable in cash based on a multiple of 3.25x EBITA, dependent on the combined performance of Geason and Speedy's training business in the three years post acquisition.
The acquisition will allow the Group to better support its customers in training and developing their staff and accelerate the growth of Speedy's services businesses.
Commenting on the acquisition, Russell Down, Chief Executive of Speedy, said:
"This acquisition expands our training services offering and allows us to deliver flexible, progressive training programmes to support customers across the UK. I warmly welcome Ian, Robert and Geason employees to Speedy."
