The Corporate team have advised the shareholders of Carb’n‑Off Limited (“Carb’n‑Off”) on the sale of its entire issued share capital to HSL Compliance Holdings Limited (“HSL”), a leading provider of risk and compliance services specialising in water, hazardous materials, fire safety, and health and environmental services.
Founded in 1989, Carb’n‑Off has established a strong reputation for delivering high‑quality hygiene, fire safety cleaning and maintenance services to industrial commercial kitchens, food production sites, bakeries and warehouses. Over more than three decades, the business has developed long-standing relationships with major UK retailers and restaurant chains.
HSL operates across both public and private sectors and continues to grow through its buy‑and‑build strategy. The acquisition of Carb’n‑Off strengthens HSL’s presence in the food and beverage and hospitality sectors, further enhancing its UK coverage and expanding its client base.
The shareholders of Carb’n-Off, Laura and Paul Page, commented on working with the FSP team: “Field Seymour Parkes provided exceptional support during the sale of our business. They guided us step by step, explained the legal complexities clearly, and were always professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We felt they truly had our best interests at heart.”
The team was led by Corporate Partner, Rachael Maunder supported by Amelia Calder (Solicitor, Corporate), Thelma Brako (Solicitor, Corporate), David Clay (Legal Director, Employment), and Josh Sharma (Trainee, Real Estate).
