adept4 sells health & safety arm

DARESBURY IT services provider adept4 has sold its small, non-core health and safety consultancy.

The company bought the health and safety consultancy unit last year as part of the acquisition of TGF Consultants.

It has now sold it, for an undisclosed sum, to MD Safety Management, a Merseyside health and safety management company. The deal will allow
adept4 to continue to focus its expertise on providing full service IT solutions, while also broadening its network

Peter Birkett, chief executive of adept4, said: “We have a good personal and professional relationship with the MD Safety Management team and it’s been a pleasure working with them on this deal.

“We will no doubt continue to work alongside them on various projects and are looking forward to growing our business network through this arrangement. This deal will allow adept4 to continue to specialise in providing global IT service solutions to our growing client base.”

Martin Mulholland from MD Safety Management added: “We have worked closely with the team at adept4 on various projects in the past, and recognised that acquiring the health and safety division of TGF Safety would create a great synergy – it’s a division which perfectly complements our current offering and we are looking forward to expanding the business.”
