Critical engineering firm MARCH (formerly the Edwin James Group) has received investment from growth-focused private equity investor, EMK Capital, as part of the sale from Aliter Capital.
EMK has an exceptional track record and expertise in infrastructure services. The strategic investment marks a significant milestone in MARCH’s evolution, positioning the company for accelerated growth.
The business, which reported turnover of £188 million for the year ending February 2024, continues to show strong momentum with a forward order book exceeding £840 million.
The acquisition follows MARCH’s rebranding in September 2024, which consolidated the expertise of operating companies ACS, Musk Process Services, Parker Technical Services, and Peak Technology Solutions. Through this integration, MARCH has enhanced operational efficiency and simplified customer engagement.
Commenting on the acquisition, Christopher Kehoe, CEO at MARCH, said: “We are proud to have helped some of the biggest brands in the UK look after their critical environments and assets. EMK’s backing helps accelerate our ambitious growth plans, positioning us for the next chapter of our growth.
“Investing in our people has been and will continue to be crucial to our growth strategy. By enabling our workforce to cultivate the required expertise, we can continue to focus on engineering progress, better supporting our customers to meet the evolving challenges around energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and operational improvement.”
The transaction terms are undisclosed.
