Quantum Joins Forces with MARCH to Accelerate Growth and Enhance Services

After building Quantum into a £20m+ business and establishing a strong national presence, the business is now entering a new phase of growth, one that will be driven by both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.

"To realise this next stage of their vision, joining with a growth partner that aligned with their values, ambition, and commitment to excellence was imperative. They are therefore proud to announce that Quantum and QE have been acquired by MARCH, a move that positions them to deliver even greater value to our customers," the companies said in a statement. 

"This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Quantum and QE, and our customers can be confident that it's business as usual. The people, teams, and high-quality service our clients rely on remain unchanged. I’m proud to continue leading the business as executive director and now as a shareholder in MARCH, reinforcing my long-term commitment to our team and customers. With the strength and support of MARCH behind us, we’re in a stronger position than ever to expand our services, enhance delivery, and drive future-focused innovation across the UK." said Kevin Brown, executive director, Quantum Controls and Q Electrical.

MARCH is a leading national engineering group, trusted by world-class organisations including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Unilever, BAE, Yorkshire Water, Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Sellafield, PepsiCo, and Nationwide. With more than 1,000 skilled professionals across 20 UK locations, MARCH offers deep expertise in infrastructure management, systems integration, digital automation, and the maintenance of critical assets, capabilities that we are now proud to bring to our customers.

"The acquisition of Quantum Controls, a leading provider in the supply and maintenance of drives and motors, adds deep technical expertise and strong, experienced leadership to our group. Their industry reputation and capabilities align perfectly with our strategic vision, strengthening our position in asset care and maintenance services. This partnership creates a powerful platform for organic growth and service expansion, delivering even greater value to our customers across the UK," stated Christopher Kehoe, CEO of MARCH.

This acquisition comes shortly after MARCH announced its sale to EMK Capital and underlines their continued committed to build great businesses.
