As 2025 comes to a close we are pleased to have a had a very successful year at Transcend, completing five transactions and delivering great results for our clients. These include:
This deal was a carve out of a division of Hercules, initiated following an internal strategic review. We were engaged to find a buyer for the business, and identified SNC as a strategic fit. SNC trades under various brands across the UK, the largest being Pier (UK). This acquisition cemented SNC’s position as the largest operator of these machines in the UK.
Termate is a specialist manufacturer of electrical insulator components, in particular busbar supports. Their products are used in critical applications such as distribution cabinets and battery electric storage. We were approached by Rob Swann, MD and owner of Termate to secure a buyer for the business. After a full market review we identified n Industries as the right owner of the business for the long term. Their strategy of building a group of specialist manufacturing businesses meant that Termate was a perfect fit.
Graham is a provider of essential products to the UK’s strategic nuclear supply sector. It had been in family ownership for many years, but the time had come for the business to be passed on to a new owner. Transcend Partner Chris Bill’s deep sector experience and market connections (he was previously CFO at Nuclear Engineering Services) meant we were uniquely well placed to advise the shareholders of Graham. The business was sold to a2e Industries.
In the rapidly consolidating accounting services space high quality practices have become very attractive businesses. The Partners of Curo asked us to explore options for them, so utilising our strong relationships with the private equity backed platform businesses we approached a selected number of potential buyers, and received significant interest in the business. The owners of Curo saw Dains as the best partner for the business going forward, with the Curo team and clients joining this ambitious and fast growing group.
We remain active across many sectors, delivering successful outcomes for our clients.
Our team continues to grow and develop and we were delighted to promote Amolak Mann to Manager following a great year of experience for him.
We are also excited about a new member of our team who will be joining us in the New Year and we will announce more details then.
