OC&C advises KLAR Partners on the acquisition of Ventro Group

We are pleased to congratulate KLAR Partners on their acquisition of Ventro Group. OC&C provided buy-side commercial due diligence to support this transaction.

Ventro Group is a leading UK-based provider of building safety and compliance services, supporting housing associations, public sector organisations, and commercial clients. Its services span the installation and maintenance of both passive and active fire safety systems, alongside surveying, inspection, and consultancy offerings. Ventro plays a critical role in helping clients meet their legal responsibilities and protect building occupants in line with evolving UK safety regulations.

This acquisition supports KLAR’s strategy of investing in mission-critical service providers with strong potential for operational scaling. With KLAR’s backing, Ventro is well positioned to accelerate its growth, continue investing in its people and technology, and further strengthen its position as a partner of choice in UK building safety and compliance.
