Rentokil Initial proposed acquisition adds building services capability

 

Rentokil Initial plc (FTSE: RTO) today announces it has exchanged contracts with Managed Support Services plc ("MSS" or the "Company") for the acquisition of its building services division, MSS Facilities Management (the "Division") for a cash consideration of up to £6.5m (subject to a net asset adjustment at completion).  The proposed sale is conditional upon the approval by the Company's shareholders in general meeting.

 

The Division, which has 200 employees, has an approximate annual turnover of £22 million and operates from two principal trading sites in Manchester and London.

 

The acquisition provides excellent synergies with Rentokil Initial's existing mechanical and electrical engineering building services business, which operates within the Initial Facilities division.
