Benchmark International has Successfully Facilitated the Transaction Between Regency Cleaning Services Limited and Ecocleen Services Limited

December 3, 2019

Benchmark International has advised on the transaction between contract cleaning firm, Regency Cleaning Services, and national commercial cleaning contractor, Ecocleen Services.

Regency operates throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, supporting more than 100 clients. The company’s team of 500 staff are responsible for delivering cleaning, waste management, porterage and maintenance services to a variety of private and public sector sites such as schools, nurseries, offices and car showrooms.

Ecocleen has more than 25 years’ experience of developing and implementing tailored commercial cleaning solutions. The franchise handles contracts of all sizes on behalf of more than 600 customers, servicing both single and multi-site operations on a local, regional and national basis.

Following the acquisition, Regency’s Managing Director, Darran Penny, will join Ecocleen as Commercial Director.

The successful takeover will enable Ecocleen to increase its presence within key sectors such as education and motor retail, while expanding its nationwide franchise network. Regency customers and staff also benefit with Ecocleen bringing its technological innovations and commitment to the environment to the combined operation.

Jean-Henri Beukes, Managing Director of Ecocleen, commented: “Regency Cleaning Services is a likeminded and profitable business that will immediately strengthen a number of existing franchisees while helping us create new franchise areas.

“This is the first of a number of strategic acquisitions we are planning as we look to accelerate our growth within the UK. We are seeking further opportunities in London, the South East, South West and North West.”

Benchmark International would like to thank all parties involved and we wish them all the very best of luck for the future.
