About Aldercrest
About Aldercrest
Aldercrest Compliance Group was founded because we believe specialist compliance businesses deserve a better exit option than being broken up or absorbed by private equity.
We are not a private equity firm. We do not raise a fund with a five-year clock running, and we do not measure success by how quickly we can sell what we’ve bought. We buy building compliance businesses because we believe in the sector, and we intend to hold what we acquire for the long term.
Aldercrest Compliance Group is the operating acquisitions vehicle of Aldercrest Group Holdings, owned equally by its two founding directors, Simon Priscott and Phil Priscott.
The founders
The people behind Aldercrest
Simon Priscott, MBA
Chief Executive Officer
Simon is CEO of Aldercrest. He is also Managing Director of Portland Oxford, a commercial property asset management business overseeing a portfolio of more than £150 million. Simon’s career has been built on managing complex, regulated property relationships: exactly the kind of long-term stewardship Aldercrest offers to the businesses it acquires.
Phil Priscott
Co-founder
Phil has spent over 35 years in the service industry, the last 20 of them running and building his own IT services business from the ground up. He understands what it costs, financially and personally, to build a business, and what it means to hand it to the right buyer.
We built the kind of acquirer we would want to sell to.
