A North East-based building compliance group comprising Green Zone Surveys and its subsidiary Walker Maintenance (trading as Enviroduct), has been acquired by Vadella – an acquisitive UK testing, inspection, and compliance group backed by international investment firm Blixt.
In a deal supported by FRP’s Corporate Finance team, the acquisition represents Vadella’s latest investment as it consolidates and grows a network of inspection-led businesses serving the UK’s built environment. The transaction provides significant backing for the group’s existing management team to accelerate the growth of both entities.
Based in the North East, Green Zone Surveys specialises in testing, inspection and compliance (TIC) services across commercial and business properties, while Enviroduct provides professional kitchen ductwork and ventilation cleaning services for a broad base of national clients. The deal marks the next stage in the group’s growth journey under Chief Executive Callum Thompson and the group’s leadership team. The deal will enable existing shareholders to realise their investment, while securing additional capital and support for further organic growth and selective acquisitions.
FRP’s Corporate Finance Newcastle-based team, led by Partner Phil Williams with support from Associate Directors Mo Miah and Graham Brown, acted as lead sell-side advisers. The team supported the shareholders throughout the transaction process, managed buyer engagement and negotiated heads of terms, before seeing the deal through to completion.
