Private equity owned M Group announced in April that it had agreed a deal to buy Telent; with regulatory approvals now attained, the transaction has completed

Telent’s £500m annual revenues come from a range of activities related to the installation and service of broadband telecoms and digital infrastructure systems – including connecting traffic lights and CCTV cameras to traffic controls centres. M Group does the civil engineering associated with these systems.

M Group chief executive Andrew Findlay said: “Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. Telent’s differentiated capabilities, market position and the talented people that make it a great business, makes us even better placed to deliver essential infrastructure services for life for our clients, communities and the planet.”

Telent chief executive Jo Gretton said: “We are looking forward to exploring the opportunities this acquisition brings, building on our excellent reputation and continuing to be a trusted partner for organisations at the forefront of the digital revolution.”

Dominic Murphy, managing partner and co-head of the UK team at CVC, which controls M Group, said: “This latest acquisition will transform M Group’s digital and technology capabilities and accelerates its growth momentum.”
