Benchmark International Successfully Facilitated the Transaction Between Structural Design Consulting Engineers Limited and Wintech Façade Engineering Limited
July 18, 2024
Benchmark International is pleased to announce the acquisition of St Albans-based SDP Consulting and Wolverhampton-based Wintech.
Established in 1974, SDP Consulting has a longstanding history of offering consultancy services to architects, developers and local authorities. The firm has a diverse client base and extensive in-house expertise across its disciplines.
Wintech was founded in 1983 by current chairman, Chris Macey. The group has steadily expanded over the years and now employs approximately 100 people in a range of specialist disciplines solely focused on the science of façade engineering.
The acquisition was primarily driven by Wintech’s mission to provide a coordinated Gateway 2 building engineering design service and to support the nation’s Net Zero building transformation goals. By integrating SDP Consulting’s capabilities, Wintech is well-positioned to meet these goals and support the group to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
The perfect exit or growth plan awaits
Nigel Grayer, SDP Consulting’s managing director, made the decision to sell the business as part of his longer-term retirement plans. Mr. Grayer expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating: “This is an exciting time for SDP. The support and growth opportunities provided by Wintech will enable us to continue to serve our existing clients whilst expanding with new opportunities and clients. We are thrilled to join forces with Wintech and combine their extensive resources with our specialised knowledge.”
Paul Savidge, Wintech’s managing director, commented: “This move demonstrates our ambition, commitment and dedication to support new and existing Wintech clients and will bring a range of new capabilities and skills to support not only Wintech’s, but SDP’s clientele. It will strengthen Wintech’s thriving consulting services and will support the teams’ growth across the UK.”

La decimocuarta encuesta anual de Citizens Bank a más de 400 ejecutivos de alto nivel del mercado medio y directivos de capital riesgo de Estados Unidos afirma que un entorno económico favorable es una razón clave por la que las empresas y los inversores buscarán estrategias de fusiones y adquisiciones en 2025. Además, las incertidumbres de los últimos años han remitido, y se prevé que las valoraciones se mantengan estables o sean superiores a las de años anteriores. Mientras tanto, las empresas medianas más pequeñas están adoptando un enfoque más reservado, y muchos vendedores optan por vender una parte de su negocio frente a una venta completa. En resumen, los responsables de la toma de decisiones encuestados esperan que en 2025 se produzca un crecimiento económico y un mayor índice de operaciones de fusión y adquisición.
