HMT LLP advised Key Capital Partners on their £9.1million investment in integrated property services provider SJA Group.
SJA was established by Adrian Deane and Sam Prett in 2010, based in Sidcup, Kent. SJA’s core services include interior and exterior cleaning and front-of-house concierge services to commercial landlords and tenants. The Group’s vertically integrated proposition was established through the acquisition of Regency Real Estate in 2020, enabling the group to provide managing agent services to property owners. The subsequent inception of Enecto in 2021 broadened the Group’s offering into mechanical, engineering and maintenance services. Through the vertically integrated model, the Group provides an end-to-end property management service to its clients.
The highly experienced management team, led by Adrian Deane (co-founder), Sam Prett (co-founder), Phil Dale (CEO of Regency), Sam Stokes (COO of Regency), Alan Sillince (Enecto Operations Director) and James Lyons (SJA Operations Director) will remain in the business and be supported by incoming Non-Executive Chair, Colin Dobell, who formerly founded the Care & Custody division within Mitie plc.
HMT undertook financial due diligence on this transaction.
We are grateful to the HMT team for their support throughout the SJA transaction. The team were a supportive partner, providing insight and challenge as we progressed the opportunity.
– James Excell, Partner – Key Capital Partners
“We are delighted to have supported Key Capital Partners on their acquisition of SJA. SJA operates in a growing market and with Key Capital Partners’ support, the Group is well positioned to capitalise on future growth opportunities. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”
– Paul Read
