ESS Corporate Services is pleased to share a positive milestone — two successful company sales completed at the beginning of March. Both transactions were delivered through a discreet, structured process designed to protect confidentiality, maintain momentum, and ensure a smooth route to completion.
Ref N253 – Completed sale
Ref N253 is an established construction, plant, and street works training provider operating from a well-established site in the Midlands (England) and serving employers nationwide. The business delivers a broad suite of accredited programmes, including CITB, CPCS, NPORS, and NVQ provision.
With forecast turnover of circa £2.1m, the company benefits from a diversified income profile across commercial and CITB Levy activity, alongside Skills Bootcamp and DWP sub-contract revenues. Strong employer relationships, recurring demand, and scalable operations supported a compelling buyer proposition and a smooth transition to new ownership.
Ref N289 – Completed sale (confidential)
Ref N289 was completed as a confidential sale, with client details protected throughout. Where confidentiality is essential, transactions must be managed carefully to avoid disruption, protect stakeholder confidence, and ensure sensitive information is shared only at the appropriate stage and under NDA. This sale progressed through to completion under a controlled, low-noise approach, prioritising discretion, clarity of next steps, and a smooth handover.
