Support services

Succeeding with support services

As UK organisations in the public and private sectors seek to streamline their operations and focus on generating value through their core competencies, this is an excellent time to be in the support services sector. It is also an area in which we at RJD have a long history of helping firms maximise their potential to achieve their strategic goals.

Over the last decade, we’ve invested successfully in a wide range of support services businesses, including those from the recruitment, business process outsourcing and facilities management sub-sectors (see our case studies to find out more).

We are always keen to work with support services firms that exhibit a number of valuable qualities – a clear niche focus within growth markets, for example, and the proven capacity to help customers operate more efficiently and effectively. We’re also interested in exploring opportunities for acquisition-led growth in fragmented markets that are set for consolidation.

We are particularly interested in investment opportunities in the following sub-sectors:

Human capital – recruitment, education and training
Environmental and energy services
Outsourcing – BPO, specialist leasing and local authority services
Professional and technical services – consultancy and testing, inspection and compliance
Facilities management and property
Transport, distribution and logistics.
