Manchester facilities management specialist expands with “exciting” acquisition

Manchester based facilities management provider, Thermatic Technical FM, has acquired PDS Drainage Solutions, strengthening its national delivery and in-house range of drainage services.

As part of its “robust” growth strategy, PDS employees will transfer to Thermatic, combining with its extensive fleet and equipment and accompanying its existing drainage division.

Effective August 1, the acquisition supports the Thermatic operating model by expanding its technical self-delivery capabilities and supplements their Hard Facility Management offering in the UK.

Jack Prady, managing director, Thermatic Technical FM, commented: “This is the right company in the right market at a great time for us. This acquisition will strengthen our ability to meet the increasing demand for further strategic drainage support to our current customer base.

“Furthermore, the acquisition will enhance our offering in the Hard FM space and present unrivalled capability as we continue to cement our footprint in the Technical FM space”.

Established over 25 years ago, PDS has cemented a strong position in the commercial drainage market in the UK. Continuing to focus on health and safety, quality, and first-time fix, PDS has built a stable customer base centred around “responsiveness, reliability, and trust”.

Steven Partington, drainage director at PDS, added: “This is a really exciting time for PDS and becoming part of the Thermatic family is a great move for the business. The acquisition provides PDS with new opportunities and will enhance the Thermatic brand within the drainage industry.

“From the initial meeting with Thermatic it felt right, the people and the vision they share for the future was a big driver for my decision. I now look forward to a bright future with Thermatic.”
