INTEGRAL ACQUIRES MIDLANDS-BASED PROPERTY MAINTENANCE BUSINESS

Britain‘s largest and fastest growing national property maintenance company has acquired the Midlands-based business of SGMS Technical Services Ltd.
 
Integral UK has purchased SGMS Technical Services from that company‘s appointed administrators, KPMG.
 
The transaction sees 112 SGMS employees transferred to Integral, together with plant, vehicles, equipment, and 30 contracted customers.  Integral has taken a three months licence on the SGMS premises in Solihull, ahead of transferring the operations to Integral‘s Birmingham office.
 
Bryan Glastonbury, Integral‘s Managing Director, said:  “When SGMS Technical Services succumbed to receivership, we stepped in to retain an experienced team and sustain services to an excellent portfolio of customers.”
 
“Those customers will now benefit from the Integral formula, based on providing a comprehensive range of maintenance services, delivered by directly employed, trained, and supervised skilled personnel in every postcode area in Britain”, said Mr Glastonbury.
