Service Experts CEO contrasts strategic owner with PE end-game ownership
Service Experts' CEO framed the Enercare deal positively because Enercare is a strategic owner that will invest in the business, explicitly contrasting this with private equity ownership that has 'an end game in their plan' — a sentiment signal about PE ownership in the trades.
“That’s very different than being owned by a private equity that has an end game in their plan. So, we’re very happy we now have a strategic owner that’s going to invest in the business, which is good for our employees.”
