Gerald Edelman advises on the sale of a majority stake in a premium commercial cleaning provider

Gerald Edelman is pleased to announce that its Corporate Finance team has advised on the sale of a majority stake in Bugbusters UK Ltd (“Bespoke Cleaning”), a leading provider of premium commercial cleaning services, to Rose Street Partners Limited (“Rose Street”).

Bespoke Cleaning delivers a full suite of cleaning solutions to a blue-chip client base across London and the surrounding regions. Founded in 2005 by Tobias Batkin as a specialist PC cleaning business, the company has evolved into a broad commercial cleaning platform, supporting a diverse and growing customer base.

Rose Street is an investment holding company focused on partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses. The transaction provides Bespoke Cleaning with a long-term partner to support its continued expansion and development.

The transaction follows a competitive process, which attracted strong interest from a range of potential counterparties, ultimately resulting in Rose Street being selected as the preferred partner.

Gerald Edelman acted as lead sell-side adviser throughout the transaction.

Tobias Batkin, CEO and Founder of Bespoke Cleaning, commented:

“We are excited to be partnering with Rose Street for the next phase of Bespoke Cleaning’s growth. Their long-term approach and experience working with founder-led businesses made them a natural fit as we look to build on our strong foundations and pursue further expansion, both organically and through acquisition.

The Gerald Edelman team played a key role in delivering this outcome – from running and managing a competitive process, to finding us the perfect partner, and providing clear, consistent advice throughout. Their experience and expertise were invaluable and I’m very grateful for their support.”

Sam Barr, Partner at Gerald Edelman, added:

“We are delighted to have advised Tobias on this transaction. The level of interest received is a strong reflection of the quality of the business and its growth prospects.

Rose Street represents an excellent partner for the next phase, and with Tobias retaining a meaningful stake and continuing to lead the business, the company is well positioned to execute on its growth strategy, including buy-and-build opportunities.

This transaction marks another successful completion for our Corporate Finance team in the facilities management space and highlights continued demand for high-quality business services assets.”
