Bunzl buys Wessex Cleaning, a UK firm with £11M revenue
Bunzl has acquired Wessex Cleaning Equipment and Janitorial Supplies, a UK cleaning and hygiene distributor, in a small deal that fits the consolidation pattern in cleaning distribution.
The acquisition was announced Oct 29. Wessex reported £11M in revenue in the year to March 31, 2026. The price was undisclosed.
This is a small, single announcement item, and it is framed here as cleaning distribution consolidation only. No multiple, margin, or synergy figure was disclosed, and none is assumed.
For owners and buyers in cleaning, one of C&Co.'s business verticals, the signal is directional rather than pricing. Large distributors are still adding regional suppliers, which keeps a platform exit path open for owners who can show recurring revenue and a clean, transferable customer base.
