Benchmark International Sucessfully Facilitated the Transaction Between Duct Hygiene Ltd and First Compliance Ltd

Benchmark International is pleased to announce the acquisition of Duct Hygiene by First Compliance.

Duct Hygiene, located in Wrexham, Wales, with several bases located around the UK, is a ventilation hygiene services company that delivers essential periodic inspection and maintenance of grease extraction systems.

First Compliance is a compliance, training and regulatory safety specialist within the ventilation and specialist cleaning sectors.

The value of the seven-figure deal has not been disclosed, whilst the new owners have confirmed that Duct Hygiene’s team of 50 will remain in place. An investment programme will also commence in the coming months.

First Compliance also owns specialist business Insuraclean and plans to establish a new training academy before the end of 2024 as it attempts to play its role in addressing the growing skills gap across the sector.

Our Business is Selling Your Business.

Ben Wood, chief executive at First Compliance Group commented: "Duct Hygiene is an established brand within the compliance sector and their track record is widely respected. The business perfectly complements our existing portfolio of compliance and training services.

"Vitally, the deal also enhances our vision to provide a national offering to our new and existing clients and we’re looking forward to moving the business forward in the months ahead. It’s a hugely exciting deal for us."

Phill Brooks, managing director of Duct Hygiene, added: "Becoming part of First Compliance Group is a perfect fit for us as we mark our 20th year in business. We share the exact same vision for creating genuine value and putting customers and their interests first when it comes to their cleaning, inspection, and regulatory commitments. 

"It's an exciting deal and I’ve got no doubt that we will grow and prosper."
