VPS Holdings

VPS HoldingsVPS Holdings is a leading provider of vacant property products and services across Europe and the US.

VPS provides products and services to both public and commercial customers to maintain and preserve vacant properties and to protect such properties against unauthorised access.

The business rents proprietary security products such as steel window panels, steel doors and alarm systems, and provides ancillary services including guarding, cleaning and clearing, lawn maintenance and property preservation.

Headquartered in the UK, the company provides its products and services across the UK, the US, France, Germany and Italy. VPS works closely with its social housing customers to provide a one-stop-shop approach in order to significantly reduce void property turnaround times. The company also works with a variety of commercial enterprises, ensuring that buildings that are left empty do not suffer neglect.

Transaction

In March 2010 TDR acquired a controlling stake in VPS Holdings Limited from Axial European Partners. The vacant properties sector has very positive macroeconomic and commercial trends and this, combined with largely immature and fragmented markets, means that we believe the business offers significant growth opportunities, both organically and through bolt-on acquisitions.
