This deal is the best outcome for TRS and its employees, and we will be able to provide stability, so we can evaluate how we best secure the long-term future of the business and the people who work in it. Between now and Christmas we will undertake a process of integrating TRS into the Readypower Group ready for the start of next year and the new control period”.

RGL were supported in this transaction by Pinsent Masons (legal), KPMG (Financial DD), RSM (tax DD), Adeptus (environmental DD) and Vista (Insurance DD). We would like to thank all our advisors who have worked extremely hard to get this concluded in a reduced timescale.
