LDC-backed Deltron completes three further acquisitions
28 Apr 2025
LDC-backed Deltron Group (Deltron), the lift maintenance and repair specialist, has acquired three complementary businesses as it continues to strengthen its presence across the UK.
The West Midlands headquartered business, which maintains and repairs elevators, service lifts and stairlifts to improve their safety, performance and lifespan, has acquired Liverpool-based Abacus Elevators, Lancashire-headquartered Total Lift Care, and Bourne Lifts, which operates in Dorset.
The transactions represent the next milestone in Deltron’s acquisitive growth strategy, expanding servicing capabilities, increasing unit density and adding more than 770 new customers. The business now maintains around 13,200 units and serves 3,700 customers.
Deltron has made eight complementary acquisitions since LDC backed the management team, led by Directors Scott Haywood and Lukas Schlenker, in July 2024.
Scott Haywood, Director of Deltron, said: “Making complementary acquisitions is a key part of our strategy to build a maintenance-focused national elevator service business of scale in order to meet growing demand for our services from SME customers across the UK. Abacus Elevators, Total Lift Care and Bourne Lifts each bring highly skilled teams that share our commitment to exceptional service and deepen our presence across the country.
With LDC’s support and expertise, we’re growing at an exciting pace. And we’re not stopping here. We continue to see potential acquisition opportunities in the fragmented industry as we focus on further expanding our reach and delivering even greater value to our customers.”
Matt Newbold, Investment Director at LDC in the West Midlands, added: “Scott, Lukas and their team are scaling their business at pace – making eight acquisitions in less than a year that each complement and strengthen their offering, service and reach. We’ll continue to support their ambitions as they look at further investments to drive their next phase of growth.”
