Hurst advises on sale of PCS Asbestos Consultants

Accounting and business advisory firm Hurst has successfully advised on the sale of PCS Asbestos Consultants, an asbestos risk management consultancy, by Marlowe. 

The Hurst team comprised Max Perry and Danielle Tierney, who provided corporate finance advice, and James Thompson, who provided tax advice.

PCS provides professional asbestos surveying, management and consultancy solutions across the UK and Ireland. The consultancy has a wide-ranging blue chip customer base with extensive commercial property estates across the private sector, ranging from retail and pubs to leisure and mobile telecoms.

The business has been acquired by Tersus Consultancy, which is part of Marlowe, which provides business-critical services and software which assure safety and regulatory compliance. Its extensive portfolio of group companies manages risks from business across different divisions, such as health and safety, HR and employment law compliance, fire safety, security, water safety and others. 

Max Perry, an associate director at Hurst’s corporate finance division, said: “It was a pleasure to advise the shareholders of PCS on the sale of the company to Marlowe.

“After a competitive process, this deal satisfied the requirements of all shareholders and I’m sure that Marlowe will see the benefit of PCS’s qualities throughout all areas of its business for a very long time.”
