Private equity firm Harvest Partners acquired The Dwyer Group, a holding company of 20 consumer brands, 17 of which are franchised service brands focused on residential and light commercial services, from Riverside for £685m. “Creating the Neighborly brand was important because it unifies Dwyer’s 20 premium service brands under one consumer facing umbrella brand,” said Riverside Partner Meranee Phing. “And investing in and developing a data centric architecture system will help facilitate the cross-selling among these consumer brands. I’ve been fortunate to partner with Dwyer under both of Riverside’s ownerships and look forward to seeing Dwyer’s continued future success and growth.”
