Calash is pleased to announce that it provided vendor commercial due diligence to Inflexion-backed PD&MS, a multi-disciplined engineering company, in support of its sale to sustainable solutions provider RSK Group.
The Aberdeen-based company provides specialist services for the oil and gas, renewables, and wider energy and industrial sectors. Inflexion completed its secondary buyout of the business in 2014 via its Buyout Fund 2010, for which the sale of its interest in PD&MS now marks its final exit.
Calash provided vendor commercial due diligence on behalf of PD&MS, which included a review of its business activities, underlying commercial drivers across the conventional energy, renewables, and low carbon markets, a review of its addressable market, a competitive analysis exercise, a review of its business plan, and extensive customer and market referencing.
The Calash team included Rob Neves, Callum Evett, Mario Petrov and Iain Gallow.
“We see RSK Group as the perfect home for the business moving forward, owing to its world-leading expertise in environmental and sustainability solutions. This deal represents a landmark moment in the evolution of PD&MS and will enable us to significantly accelerate our growth in new energy markets, while continuing to support our conventional energy clients to maximise economic recovery and play a pivotal role in their energy transition journeys.”
Simon Rio, CEO, PD&MS
