Excellerate Services UK Acquires GSA
Excellerate Services UK [ESUK] has acquired Glasgow-based GSA, which offers professional cleaning & support services to some of the UK’s most prestigious clients in retail, distribution centres, and roadside services.
This acquisition will provide ESUK with a substantial foundation for growth, given GSA’s operational density across the UK, further enhancing ESUK’s national footprint. The enlarged company will continue to execute on its current strengths and build on the existing solid customer base in the corporate built environment, high-end retail, distribution & logistics and manufacturing sectors.
Additionally, it offers the possibility of leveraging multiple best practices & industry-leading technology (Velocity) to ensure a more dynamic operating model with the use of demand-led technology to deliver data driven service delivery.
With her existing management team all remaining, Gwyneth Fleming, business owner & CEO, will provide support for the full integration of GSA.
ESUK delivers cleaning and security services across the UK and Ireland and is part of the broader Excellerate Group who has operations across Africa and the UAE. Excellerate Group has further growth plans in the UK and the partnership with GSA is an exciting first step.
It will be business as usual for GSA customers and colleagues – but with the added capabilities, specialist knowledge, opportunities, and added value of being part of a larger UK footprint, yet keeping the owner managed service delivery.
In a statement about the acquisition, Gwyneth Fleming said: “It was important to me that the GSA brand and our teams could continue growing and building on the success achieved to date. I truly believe that being part of the Excellerate family will enhance the opportunities going forward and wish everyone every success in the future.”
Gordon Hulley, CEO of the Excellerate Group, said: “I am extremely pleased that GSA are part of the Excellerate family. Under the leadership of Gwyneth Fleming, their reputation for quality services and highly skilled staff complements ours. The transaction strengthens our position in the UK, and provides the ideal platform for further growth in various sectors.”
