DCB provides building, refurbishment and maintenance services to housing associations and local authorities throughout Kent, Sussex, Essex and London. DCB also provides disabled adaptations to occupied homes and public buildings through a specialist division, Living Solutions, which was founded in 2001. Bilby has also acquired Spokemead Maintenance Limited for a maximum consideration of £8.7 million. Spokemead provides electrical installation, repairs and maintenance services to local authority owned housing stock and has been the principal contractor for a major London borough for the electrical installation, repairs and maintenance for some 25 years winning three successive five year contracts.
The acquisitions mark important further progress in Bilby’s buy and build strategy,
which targets complementary businesses servicing housing associations and local authorities in London and the South East. The Group sees increasing opportunity in these markets driven by government legislation such as the Right to Repair and the Decent Homes Standard. DCB and Spokemead will expand the range of services that Bilby offers, as well as broadening its customer base and geographical reach in London and the South East. DCB and Spokemead will continue to operate under their respective brands and will also benefit from the increased purchasing power and strong financial position of the Enlarged Group. Phil Copolo, Deputy Executive Chairman of Bilby, said: “We are very pleased to announce the acquisitions of DCB and Spokemead, two successful businesses that will further enhance the Group’s offer and reach. With their strong management, both businesses have long-established reputations for delivering high levels of service. Furthermore these acquisitions will further enhance Bilby’s ability to tender for larger-scale contracts.”
