Centurion Group, a global leader in the supply of rentals and services to a range of critical industries for complex, challenging, and remote locations, has announced the acquisition of Kabin Hire, a specialist provider of welfare and portable accommodation to the construction, groundworks, water and utilities sectors.
Headquartered in Caerphilly, near Cardiff, Kabin Hire is a family-owned and operated business offering rental of static and mobile welfare units – robust, self-contained site solutions that include offices, canteens, toilets and storage solutions.
The company has 30 employees and supports infrastructure and construction projects across Wales and South West England.
This acquisition supports Centurion’s strategy in the UK & Europe region to build a UK-wide industrial rentals and services business, marking the Group’s operational entry into Wales. It also broadens Centurion’s accommodation offering.
Since 2017, Centurion has been on a diversification journey that has seen it increase its EBITDA by over 250% and its multi-industry earnings grow from ~3% to ~40%.
The existing Kabin Hire management team will remain with the business. Backed by Centurion’s scale and financial firepower, the business will benefit from increased capital and operational support to bolster its long-term growth and expansion plan.
Euan Leask, Centurion’s CEO, said: “We’re excited to welcome Kabin Hire to Centurion. Kabin Hire has a strong reputation in the accommodation and welfare market, and we are excited to work with the Fullstone family to help them grow and build on a great business. This acquisition expands our reach into Wales and further strengthens our presence in the accommodation and infrastructure rental market.”
Ian Fullstone, managing director of Kabin Hire, commented: “We’re proud of what we’ve built as a family business, and joining a like-minded group with the same values and long-term vision means we can keep growing, investing and delivering for our customers. Becoming part of Centurion is a fantastic step forward for Kabin Hire.”
