KR8 Advisory secures the future of national engineering services and training provider, 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 is national operations. SERT Group holds competitive and long-standing contracts with several blue-chip businesses across the UK.
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 managements 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”
