Homeserve Emergency Services (HES), a service provider to domestic insurance companies, has been bought out by LDC for £11 million.

The management buy-out (MBO) from parent company Homeserve, which is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, includes HES’s three trading businesses, Homeserve Glass and Locks, Homeserve Chem-Dry and Homeserve Content Services. The company will be rebranded as Evander Group.

The MBO is led by CEO Jonathan Simpson-Dent, together with Alan Horton, Mark Taylor and Simon Hancox, respectively the managing directors of the glazing, flood damage and product replacement arms of HES.
