LDC-backed lift specialist elevates growth with trio of deals

LDC-backed Deltron Group, a specialist in lift maintenance and repair, has acquired three more businesses as it continues to strengthen its footprint across the UK.

The Dudley-based company, which services elevators, platform lifts, and stairlifts to enhance safety, performance and longevity, has added Abacus Elevators (Liverpool), Total Lift Care (Lancashire), and Bourne Lifts (Dorset) to its growing portfolio.

Led by directors Scott Haywood and Lukas Schlenker, Deltron now maintains around 13,200 units for 3,700 customers nationwide.

The latest acquisitions bring Deltron’s total to eight since LDC’s minority investment in July. Earlier additions to the group include Metro Lifts (London), Elevate UK Lifts (Stourport-on-Severn), Elevator Group (London), A1 Lifts (Liverpool), and Lift Control (Livingston).

Scott Haywood, director of Deltron said: “Making complementary acquisitions is a key part of our strategy to build a maintenance-focused national elevator service business of scale in order to meet growing demand for our services from SME customers across the UK. Abacus Elevators, Total Lift Care and Bourne Lifts each bring highly skilled teams that share our commitment to exceptional service and deepen our presence across the country.

“With LDC’s support and expertise, we’re growing at an exciting pace. And we’re not stopping here. We continue to see potential acquisition opportunities in the fragmented industry as we focus on further expanding our reach and delivering even greater value to our customers.”

Matt Newbold, investment director at LDC in the West Midlands said: “Scott, Lukas and their team are scaling their business at pace – making eight acquisitions in less than a year that each complement and strengthen their offering, service and reach. We’ll continue to support their ambitions as they look at further investments to drive their next phase of growth.”
