H2 Equity Partners invests in Amberon Traffic Management to support growth

H2 Equity Partners is pleased to announce its sixth investment by Fund V: the acquisition of Amberon – the UK’s leading low-speed traffic management service provider.

Amberon, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Paignton, Devon, has grown rapidly to become the market leader in low-speed traffic management with national coverage. The company is able to provide a full-service offering to its clients: high speed traffic management, low speed traffic management as well as barrier repair and installation services.

The company generates c£37.5 million sales and operates out of 24 depots across England and Wales. Amberon is extremely well positioned to further expand its depot network, expand its portfolio of services and provide both high speed and low speed traffic management services to clients in England and Wales.

The Amberon group employs over 500 people and places safety at the centre of everything it does. The company has a full portfolio of safety accreditations and effectively utilises technology throughout the business to maintain the highest safety standards.

Terry Musson

The Amberon Group is a market leading traffic management provider to the utilities and Local Authority markets. Amberon was established in May 2002 with our first depot in Paignton, South West England. Our founding core principles remain at the heart of everything that we do and our continued desire to achieve our purpose; to provide the best service in the Traffic Management sector. This has been the foundation for our success and has cemented our position as the market leader in TM.

During the initial transaction we never felt under any pressure & instantly recognised we would become part of the family. H2 took the time to listen to our views & business strategy, it was obvious from the very beginning that they would be the perfect partner for us.

The guys at H2 have enabled us to continue the momentum & have provided the expertise & knowledge to help us continue on the journey to constantly improve our service offering.

Working with H2 during the last 2 years has given us additional support not just financially but the advice & expertise has helped analytically & strategically.

The ambition and the drive H2 have is extremely infectious & continues to assist the group to overachieve.

It’s enormously reassuring to know H2 will always be at the end of the phone to offer advice but heartening to know they have the trust in us to deliver.
