LONDON: Marlowe plc, the specialist services group focused on developing companies which assure safety and regulatory compliance, has acquired Deminos Consulting Limited.

Based in Gateshead, Deminos provides subscription-based HR & employment law compliance services to a range of SMEs across the UK. The business will be integrated into Law At Work, the Group’s HR, employment law and health and safety compliance operation.

In the year to July 2019, Deminos generated revenues of £1.0m and EBITDA of £0.2m. The total consideration for the business is expected to be £0.7m. The acquisition will be funded from the Group’s existing cash and debt facilities.

Marlowe is a UK leader in specialist services which assure safety and regulatory compliance, whilst managing risk for businesses across the country. The company was formed to create sustainable shareholder value through the acquisition and development of businesses that provide regulated inspection, testing and compliance services.

It is focused on health & safety, employment law compliance, fire safety, security, water treatment & hygiene, air quality and occupational health services – all of which are vital to the wellbeing of its customers operations and are invariably governed by regulation.

Marlowe currently provides services to over 15% of Britain’s commercial premises and is increasingly attractive to customers who require a single outsourced, nationwide, provider of a comprehensive range of regulated compliance and safety services.
