Our special situations M&A team advised on the share sale of Industrial Water Jetting Systems Group (IWJS) to Maybrook Investments.
The client
IWJS is a leading UK-based provider of sewer maintenance services, waste management, and industrial cleaning services. IWJS was a subsidiary of Morrison Water Services, which is part of M Group Services. The decision was taken to divest IWJS, enabling the group to re-channel its focus towards its core business activities. Maybrook Investments acquired the business after a strategic review, with its top priority being to guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of contracted services to valued clients.
