Since its acquisition by Cap10 Partners LLP in a public-to-private transaction valued at £214 million in July 2023, Sureserve has pursued an aggressive buy-and-build strategy, completing eight add-on acquisitions to expand its capabilities and market presence. Notable recent transactions include the July 2025 acquisition of Kinovo plc for £56.4 million, enhancing electrical compliance and energy services in London and Southeast England as its fifth UK deal post-Cap10; and the November 2025 acquisition of Bonarius Group, a leading Dutch provider of technical maintenance and sustainable heating installations for housing associations, marking Sureserve's first international expansion into the Netherlands and creating a platform for further European growth. These moves strengthen Sureserve's position in decarbonisation, compliance, and energy efficiency amid rising demand in regulated social housing markets.
