Building safety and regulatory compliance services provider Complii has bolstered its water compliance offering with its latest acquisition. Sweetbriar Limited brings more than two decades of technical expertise into the group, as well as a strong reputation for service-led water compliance.
Founded in 2004 and based in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, Sweetbriar is a specialist provider of water hygiene, water treatment and legionella control services to clients across England and Wales.
The latest deal in Complii’s ongoing M&A-driven growth strategy, the addition of Sweetbriar enhances the group’s position as a leading UK building compliance partner, significantly strengthening its water compliance offering.
Sarah Dixon, CEO of Complii, commented: “Sweetbriar is a business built on genuine technical expertise and a real commitment to doing right by its customers - qualities that make them an excellent fit for Complii.”
Dixon continued: “Their team’s depth of experience in water hygiene and legionella control strengthens our water offering considerably, and I’m delighted to welcome Matthew, Seb, and the whole Sweetbriar team to the Group.”
Seb Gray, incoming Managing Director of Sweetbriar Limited, added: “Joining Complii gives Sweetbriar access to greater resources and reach, while allowing us to continue delivering the same high standard of service our clients have come to expect. The shared focus on compliance and quality made Complii a natural partner, and we’re looking forward to being part of something bigger.”
The deal further enhances Complii’s standing as a provider of building compliance services, enabling owners and managers to access an even more integrated suite of services, spanning water, fire, air, electrical, lifts and escalators through a single partner.
The deal continues a busy period of buy-and-build growth for the group, following a spate of recent acquisitions, including Celtic Fire Security, Classic Lifts (Scotland) Limited, The Escalator Company, Parr Fire Protection Services and Tay Fire and Security.
