Aldercrest Compliance Group
A Long-Term Home for Specialist Building Compliance Businesses
We acquire, support and grow compliance businesses across the UK, with no intention of selling.
Who we are
Built by people who understand compliance and ownership
Aldercrest is led by Simon Priscott, who has spent his career managing complex, regulated commercial property portfolios, including a managed portfolio of more than £150 million at Portland Oxford. Co-founder Phil Priscott has built and run his own service business for over a decade. Between them, they understand what it takes to run a compliance-led business, and what it takes to sell one well.
The problem we solve
Two sides of the same problem
For business owners
Many building compliance businesses are owner-managed with no clear succession plan. When the time comes to step back, the usual options feel wrong: sell to a private equity buyer who breaks the business up, sell to a competitor who absorbs it and drops the name, or carry on longer than you’d like. Aldercrest offers a different option: a long-term owner who wants to keep what you built running, not strip it for parts.
For building owners and facilities managers
Managing fire safety, asbestos, electrical and water hygiene compliance often means juggling several separate contractors, each with their own invoice, contract and point of contact. Aldercrest is building a group of specialist compliance businesses under one accountable roof, so building owners get one relationship instead of five.
Our approach, in brief
How a sale to Aldercrest works
A confidential conversation
No pressure, no obligation, and nothing goes further without your agreement.
A fair, transparent valuation
We walk you through exactly how we arrive at a number, not just promise you it’s fair.
Long-term ownership
We complete the deal and get to work growing what you built, not selling it on.

For business owners
Thinking about the future of your business?
Many compliance business owners reach a point where they want to step back, but they don’t want to hand the keys to a faceless corporation. Aldercrest is different. We buy businesses to keep them.
Every conversation is confidential
