The Cosmetic Repair Company (CRC) has sold 76% of its share capital to MA Group.

Sam Moore, CRC managing director, anticipates a promising future as part of the integrated property services provider.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Halifax, CRC offers specialist property cosmetic services across several sectors, including housebuilding and general construction, enhancing MA Group's service offerings.

KBS Corporate facilitated the swift sale in line with Moore's ambitions for CRC to become a leading UK operator in its field.

The deal, led by KBS Corporate deal executive Jacob Lord, allows Moore to remain involved in the company with plans for further growth and development.

Commenting on the acquisition, Moore said: "I'm really looking forward to joining the MA Group team and to fulfilling the growth plans for CRC.

"The company will now have the infrastructure to execute services for our clients at a higher level with the assistance and help of a wider group.

"These are very encouraging times for CRC and I'm excited about what the future will bring as part of the MA Group."

Established in 1996 and based in Aylesbury, MA Group is a market leader in its field, managing over 200 suppliers nationwide and project-managing thousands of claims annually.

Paul Hayman, CEO of MA Group, expressed his delight at the acquisition, stating it brings more scale, technical expertise, and excellence to the company.

He added: "Our continued expansion into surface repairs complements our existing services and will bring more benefits to our clients and their customers.

"We are excited to build a nationwide surface-repair solution in a fragmented industry.

"We look forward to bringing the same market-leading changes to the surface repair industry that we have brought to the restoration industry."

Jacob Lord acknowledged the efforts of his KBS Corporate colleagues Carmen Wong and Julia Gorska in completing the transaction within six weeks of the initial agreement.

He highlighted the professional and efficient manner in which the buyers operated, focusing on the critical aspects of the deal.

Richard Coulthard of Ison Harrison law firm was also thanked for his exceptional work in safeguarding Moore's interests throughout the transaction.
