Convex has advised UK Safety Management Ltd (UKSM), a major national provider of electrical compliance and safety testing, on a strategic sale to Premier Technical Services Group Limited (PTSG), the UK’s leading provider of niche specialist services to the facilities management and construction sectors. The acquisition was supported by PTSG’s investors Warburg Pincus and Macquarie Capital.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UKSM brings a substantial customer base across the SME and commercial sectors, with core services including Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), Fixed Wire Testing, Emergency Lighting Inspections and Fire Extinguisher Maintenance. The business has a strong track record of operational delivery and customer retention, making it a highly complementary addition to PTSG’s fast-growing Electrical Services division.
This strategic acquisition further consolidates PTSG’s position as one of the largest and most capable electrical compliance providers in the UK. PTSG Electrical Services Ltd now includes market-leading capabilities delivered through Guardian Electrical Compliance Ltd, PTSG Electrical Testing, Electrical Compliance and Safety Ltd, UK Safety Management Ltd and the UK’s leading Lightning Protection business.
Paul Teasdale, Group Chairman of PTSG, said: “We are delighted to welcome UK Safety Management to the PTSG family. Their reputation, reach and technical expertise are well aligned with our mission to set the standard in specialist services nationwide. This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver outstanding electrical compliance solutions across all client segments, from SMEs to blue-chip organisations. It also significantly scales our operations and accelerates our strategic growth trajectory.”
The UKSM management team, led by Managing Director Mike Devlin, will remain in place and continue to drive the business forward as part of PTSG.
