Founded in 2009, Senseco is a leading provider of fire detection, suppression, security and automation systems, with a strong presence in the large and complex fire systems market across London and the South East. The transaction is a significant step forward for the business, bringing it into andwis’ wider portfolio of specialist providers operating across environmental, safety and compliance services. The addition of Senseco creates one of the UK’s largest independent providers of fire and security services.

Shoosmiths advised the selling shareholders on all legal aspects of the sale. The firm previously advised the investor on its initial investment into Senseco in 2019 and worked closely with the group on all seven subsequent bolt-on acquisitions.

Partners Aleks Bosch and Amit Nayyar co-led the transaction, with support from Principal Associate Adam Frost, Associates Sam Enderby and Olivia Ashcroft and Trainee Solicitor Stella Loukaidou. Principal Associate Caroline Airey and Principal Associate Georgina Jones provided tax support.

In a joint statement, Aleks Bosch and Amit Nayyar commented: “We have been working with Senseco for many years now and are delighted to have supported it on this deal.Senseco is a high-quality business with a strong track record of growth, and this transaction represents an exciting next step as it joins the andwis platform.

“This transaction underlines an increasingly confident UK M&A market that is providing opportunities across a number of sectors championed by Shoosmiths. We have an active team in the market and look forward to continuing to support leading companies and investors across the country as they undertake keynote transactions.”
