Dunedin - Dunedin does it again
Dunedin, the BVCA Private Equity House of the Year
has again made a significant profit on its original
investment following the sale of Buildspan, one of the
UK’s leading distributor’s of construction products, to
SIG Plc for an undisclosed price. Last week, Dunedin
doubled its money on the sale of Zenith Vehicle
Contracts.
Buildspan has developed a reputation as the most
reliable national supplier of quality concrete,
brickwork and precast accessories, specialising in a
next day delivery service to the contractor on site
allowing them to meet the practical everyday demands of
the construction industry.
Alasdair Miller, director of Dunedin, commented: “Over
the last four years, we have worked alongside the
Buildspan management team to drive the company’s growth
and development. Sales have increased by over 60 per
cent with 2 new depots having been opened, providing the
group with national distribution capability. The sale to
SIG is a natural fit and will provide additional
opportunities for the company’s continued development.”
Dunedin’s exit has meant that it has realised a
significant uplift on its original investment.
John Turner, CEO of Buildspan said: “Dunedin has been a
responsive and valuable partner to us and has
continually offered the highest level of service. They
have worked with us closely in our strategy to develop
the profile and service capability of the business’’
Buildspan has three main operations, one at Ash Vale
covering the South of England and one at Dronfield
covering the Midlands and the North and a new depot near
Canary Wharf which is expected to benefit from increased
construction activity arising from the nearby Olympic
site and regeneration of the Thames gateway.
Buildspan remains committed to providing the highest
levels of customer service possible. The company aims to
become the most experienced, reliable and responsive
independent supplier of quality concrete and brickwork
accessories, which every customer operating in England
and Wales would prefer to use as their supplier.
Dunedin doubled the size of its business in 2006 by
raising a £250 million fund, increasing its investor
base and expanding its team in Edinburgh and London. It
made some exciting new investments in Capula, etc.venues
and WFEL and successfully realised investments in
Zenith, Letts Filofax, Caledonian Building Systems,
Celtic Inns, Home & Legacy, Davenham and Portman Travel.
The new fund gives Dunedin the firepower to invest up to
£50 million of equity in a deal allowing it to focus on
buyouts of up to £75 million enterprise value and then
to pursue buy and build or roll-out opportunities.
