GS Verde has advised on the full transfer of ownership of Unitary Engineering Services (UES) to Adam Griffiths, managing director and son of founder Roger Griffiths.
Unitary Engineering Services (UES) is a provider of comprehensive building services in the Southwest, South Wales and the Midlands.
Founded in 1986 as an industrial heating specialist, UES has diversified its products and services alongside its clients’ needs over the years, becoming their strategic partner in building services, from design and installation to ongoing maintenance.
In recent years, the company has achieved sixfold growth, expanding its geographical coverage and more than doubling its back-office team.
Committed to environmental responsibility, Adam plans to lead the company towards B Corp certification – a first in the mechanical sector.
Starting as an engineer 23 years ago, Adam worked within the team to develop his industry skills and knowledge, before moving into other areas of the business to deepen his understanding of operations and wider industry.
After shadowing Roger, Adam became a director in 2015, and now takes full control of UES.
GS Verde Group offered multiple disciplines within one team to advise UES across all aspects of the transfer of ownership and “ensure a smooth transition for the business that aligned with the family’s goals”.
Adam said: “It’s an honour to take over the reins of UES, a company my father built with dedication and innovation. We continue his legacy by embracing sustainable solutions, empowering future generations, and delivering exceptional service to our clients. We’re excited for the future and confident that our commitment to ethical business practices and environmental responsibility will position us for continued success.”
Roger added: Handing over UES to Adam has been a moment of immense pride. Witnessing his passion for the business, his commitment to our values, and his drive for innovation fills me with confidence in the future of the company. I have no doubt that under his leadership, UES will continue to thrive and contribute positively to the industry and the environment.”
