What our Partners Say

"The time taken between shaking hands and completing the sale was refreshingly short. I was delighted with how flexible and accommodating the team were, making the sale as painless as possible. As part of the earn-out deal, I have remained as MD of the company and am enjoying working with Adama Capital as we continue to grow the business and realise its full potential."

"It was a pleasure to work with the team at Adama Capital whilst MD of the business, as we worked collaboratively to grow the contractor book three-fold. The MBO process to buy the company from them was seamless, with no interruption to the ongoing operations of the company. We remain on contact with the team at Adama Capital and look forward to working with them again in the near future."

Former MD and new owner of TSSI, sold by Adama Capital in 2023

"Since the acquisition in February 2024, the team at Adama Capital have empowered the former divisional heads to become the new management team (and shareholders), a challenge they have risen to, achieving records results for the company. The healthy mix of autonomy and oversight provided by Adama Capital has been invaluable in helping the company to realise its potential."

Rob Harper

New MD of CBSbutler Holdings, acquired by Adama Capital in 2024

"As the majority shareholder before the sale in 2022, I was undecided between exiting entirely or going again with new investors. Having met the team, I was convinced to go again and I am delighted to have done so – the team’s undoubted market knowledge coupled with specific investments in new sectors and headcount has been invaluable in helping transform the culture of the company."
