Securing the future of SERT Group
KR8 Advisory has successfully safeguarded the future of “SERT Group”, a national engineering services and training provider, with expertise spanning fast-growing sectors, including battery storage, renewable energy, hearing, EV charging points and solar.
The sale preserves the employment of all direct staff and its contractors across its national operations. SERT Group holds competitive and long-standing contracts with several blue-chip businesses across the UK.
Successful sale to Meraki Capital
On 20 January 2026, after a thorough marketing process, Matt Mills and Jimmy Saunders of KR8 Advisory successfully sold SERT Group’s business and assets to an entity owned by the Meraki Capital Group.
Although the business had navigated the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, market challenges as well as a change in key personnel had led to a reduction in revenues, meaning the business was unsustainable in its current form, despite management's best efforts to realign the overhead base.
Matt Mills, Director at KR8 Advisory, commented:
"The sale to Meraki Capital presents a great opportunity to continue to grow the SERT Group business, furthering its mission to provide best-in-class services and training”
