Our Corporate Finance team coordinated the sale of EcoGenR8 Ltd, which trades as AFECO, to United Living Group, a leading independent infrastructure, construction and property services company. AFECO is a cleantech innovation company which specialises in engineering services and solutions focused on the water, marine and energy sectors. DELIVERING CORPORATE FINANCE SUCCESS The transaction was overseen by John Hunt, KBS Corporate Finance Director, and George Dalton, KBS Corporate Finance Manager. EcoGenR8 founder and engineering director Abi Field commented: “KBS not only identified an excellent partner for us in United Living but also negotiated a deal which works well for both parties.

“We quickly learned to appreciate the complexity and challenges of completing a sale of the business and greatly appreciated the advice received from KBS throughout the process.
