Sector

Region

UK

We have advised H.I.G. Capital (H.I.G.) on raising finance to support the acquisition of Rainham Industrial Services Limited (Rainham), a leading UK provider of industrial installation, maintenance, and refurbishment services to the power generation, energy from waste, nuclear and manufacturing sectors.  

The Clearwater Debt Advisory team provided buyside debt advisory advice to H.I.G. 

Rainham provides clients with mechanical, access, insulation, painting, and cleaning services in demanding industrial end markets. It operates from four locations across the UK and has built a strong reputation for quality delivery and an award-winning health and safety capability. 

Rainham’s existing management team will remain in place to continue driving the company’s growth and future development. Rainham benefits from exposure to an aging UK industrial base and a growing power generation market, as well as customer relationships that span decades. The business also intends to grow and expand its service offering through selective M&A.

Rainham has built its success by focusing on exceptional service, quality, and safety, which will continue to be the cornerstones of the business going forward. We are excited for the future and believe that by working closely with H.I.G., we can continue to deliver growth in a large and growing end-market.

The UK’s industrial and infrastructure base is set for significant transformation in coming years. We are excited to partner with Rainham’s highly experienced management team to build on their success to date, delivering critical maintenance and development services to asset owners. We both see significant scope for growing the business in adjacent sectors and add-on acquisitions.

John Harper, Managing Director, H.I.G

We are delighted to have worked with the team at H.I.G. and Rainham to raise a suitable funding package that aligns with their plans to grow organically and through acquisitions.  Rainham has a proven track record and is well placed to continue to grow with H.I.G.’s support.  We wish them all the best as they work together on this exciting venture.
