BRCK Group has agreed to acquire Kent-based H.S. Jackson & Son (Fencing) in a transaction valued at nearly £20 million as the construction materials supplier continues to widen its presence across specialist market segments. The deal follows the withdrawal of a takeover approach for BRCK earlier this year and marks another step in the company’s acquisition-led growth strategy. Under the agreement, BRCK will pay an initial £15 million for the business alongside £4.9 million for its freehold land and property assets. Completion is expected before the end of June and will be financed through existing resources, with additional deferred consideration of up to £11 million linked to future performance targets.
Established in 1947 by Harold Sands Jackson and his son Ian Jackson, the company has remained family-owned throughout its history and is currently led by third-generation managing director Peter Jackson. The business designs, manufactures and installs timber and steel fencing, gates and perimeter security systems serving residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure customers. During FY2025, H.S. Jackson & Son generated revenue of £40.9 million, supported by projects across schools, government-backed developments and major national infrastructure schemes. BRCK stated that the acquisition supports its diversification objectives and is expected to enhance profitability during the first full year following completion.
Commenting on the transaction, BRCK chief executive Frank Hanna said the addition of the Jacksons business aligns with the group’s expansion strategy while providing access to a substantial pipeline of infrastructure-related opportunities. Peter Jackson added: “I look forward to driving the next stage of Jacksons’ growth as part of BRCK, which is the ideal custodian for the Jacksons brand owing to a shared commitment to product quality and customers.
“Together we will be able to leverage the growth opportunities in the premium fencing market.”
The acquisition comes shortly after BRCK’s rebrand from Brickability and follows a revised acquisition approach focused on disciplined capital allocation in a changing construction environment. It also arrives after the company’s takeover discussions with US private equity firm Atlas ended in April when due diligence failed to progress. In its most recent interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, BRCK reported revenue of £347 million, up 4.9 per cent year on year, while adjusted EBITDA remained stable at £27.2 million despite challenging market conditions. The addition of H.S. Jackson & Son is expected to strengthen BRCK’s position in specialist markets, with H.S. Jackson & Son bringing established expertise in fencing, security systems and infrastructure projects.
