A strategically complementary acquisition, within a global group
Dunton Environmental is a recognised leader in land regeneration, providing innovative solutions for soil and water treatment across complex brownfield and contaminated land projects. Operating in the land remediation and waste management sectors for over 15 years, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering technically demanding projects safely, sustainably and on time. Dunton also operates fixed waste treatment facilities, converting contaminated waste into sustainable materials for recovery and recycling. The business had demonstrated exceptional growth and industry recognition, including being named one of the London Stock Exchange Group’s Top 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain.
As part of its growth strategy, Soletanche Freyssinet identified Dunton as a highly complementary acquisition to strengthen its soil remediation capabilities. Within the group, Dunton will work alongside Menard, a global leader in soil improvement and remediation, creating opportunities for accelerated growth and expansion.
The transaction was structured to allow Dunton’s shareholders to retain a meaningful minority equity stake, enabling continued participation in the future growth of the business.
Andy Moore worked closely with the shareholders throughout the process, advising on negotiations and project managing the transaction from start to finish.
This new partnership will provide significant benefits to all our clients because it will enable us to support them with an even wider geographic reach, and the combination of the two companies will bring a depth of experience to enable us to engage in larger and even more technically challenging projects and continue to help our clients in solving complex land remediation and waste management challenges.
Neil Roe, CEO, Dunton Environmental
We were delighted to have the opportunity to work with Neil on this transaction. It is an exciting strategic acquisition for Soletanche Freyssinet, bringing significant synergies with Menard and we look forward to seeing the business go from strength to strength
