FRP has revealed it advised sustainability-focused architectural and property consultancy business, N-Able Group, (N-Able) on its sale to RSK Group.
Headquartered in London, N-Able is a one stop shop for design and construction services, specialising in the delivery of low energy, low environmental impact buildings. It comprises two award-winning companies, ECD Architects, an architecture firm providing sustainable building design in England and Scotland, and Keegans, and a building consultancy specialising in retrofit, building and fire safety.
The 110- strong N-Able group, which also has offices in Glasgow and Preston, said it approached FRP Corporate Finance because of its “proven reputation” delivering positive results for consultancy businesses serving the built environment sector.
FRP’s Bristol team, led by partner Mark Naughton, associate director Freddie James and Manager Kush Kunwar, worked to help prepare the business for sale, create marketing materials, and identify and approach buyers – with a focus on ensuring any suitor aligned with N-Able’s core commitment to sustainability.
Naughton said: “N-Able has been pioneering sustainability within architecture and property consultancy for nearly three decades, so it was important to find a buyer with closely aligned values.
“ECD and Keegans are award-winning businesses with market leading offerings in sustainable architecture, retrofit and building safety, and this deal represents an exciting opportunity for all to maintain their identity going forward, while benefiting from being part of the highly reputable RSK Group.”
N-Able Group chairman Danny Innes added: “FRP played a crucial role as our trusted advisers. They managed the acquisition process with precision, navigating negotiations in a level-headed and objective manner, even when emotions ran high. Their approach was direct, honest, and always in our best interests. We could not have asked for better advisers and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a transaction of this scale.”
