Benchmark International facilitated the transaction of monitor environmental to protec group

Benchmark International has successfully advised the shareholders of Monitor Environmental Limited on the sale of the company to Laboratories Protec SA, part of Protec Group for an undisclosed sum.

Established over 30 years ago, Monitor Environmental provides a full range of asbestos related services including consultancy, management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys, fibre counting, bulk sampling and producing asbestos registers, either as a written report or on an electronic database, and providing asbestos awareness courses.

Lynda Watts of Monitor Environmental said, "Benchmark International approached me initially and although I wasn't ready for selling, when I did decide to sell I went back to them as they came across very confident and professional. Benchmark International helped me along the way when negotiations were a bit slow, as we were doing it between England and France. Benchmark helped, and they contacted the French company and kept the momentum going for me and then in the final negotiations they were very professional. I don't feel as if I would've gotten such a good price if it wasn't for Benchmark International. I would recommend Benchmark International; they had our best interest at heart all the time. I was very satisfied, and I believe they did get the best price for me."

Established in 1997, the Protec Group is one of leading environmental companies in France. The company is specialised in key environmental issues. Protec’s companies provide an array of services and products: from performing analysis to instrumentation for quick measurements on site to health and hygiene protective equipment.

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