Nationwide green services provider, Nurture Group has acquired Lancashire landscape maintenance company, Northern Estates Services Ltd (NESL).

The acquisition follows on from the Group’s £60m investment by All Seas Capital earlier this year, marking its ninth acquisition in the past twelve months and further operates as an important step to consolidating the Group’s national presence.

Peter Fane, Nurture Group founder and executive chairman, says: “NESL operates through four key service lines which have strong alignment with our own verticals: grounds maintenance services and extra works, representing some two-thirds of NESL’s revenue, winter maintenance & gritting, arboriculture services, and civil works comprising essentially hard landscaping and ad hoc works.

“This, together with a super client base which matches ours, and a shared vision for a more sustainable world and business, was always going to be the perfect match.”

Independent landscapers, NESL have sustainably operated primarily in the North of England, increasing annual sale figures to £4m in the past 15 years.
