WCCTV has been sold to Arcus Infrastructure Partners

WCCTV

WCCTV is a premier provider of managed re-deployable video surveillance (RVS) solutions, which are used to deter, detect and provide digital evidence of security incidents. WCCTV delivers an end-to-end managed service which includes advisory on-site configuration, the deployment and leasing of fuel cell and solar-powered CCTV towers and trailers, tech-enabled surveillance and monitoring connected to outsourced alarm receiving centers. This service build on a best-in-class proprietary developed hardware and software technology stack. The company serves a diversified, blue-chip customer base across infrastructure and utilities, government and law enforcement, large-scale commercial and industrial construction, car parking and property management for a wide range of security and monitoring use cases.

WCCTV is the #1 leader in the UK market and has successfully exported its success formula from past years into the massive and high-growth U.S. market, where it has firmly established itself as a leading provider in Texas and California.

The Deal

Lincoln International was appointed as exclusive financial adviser by the founder of WCCTV, Tim Williams, and institutional investor LDC, who made a minority investment in WCCTV in 2021 backing Chief Executive Officer David Gilbertson. Since LDC’s investment, WCCTV has nearly tripled in size, expanded rapidly in the UK and the U.S. and developed a suite of innovative new products, services and technologies.

To optimally position WCCTV’s unique transatlantic RVS platform, Lincoln leveraged an integrated global team across the UK, U.S. and the Netherlands, delivering seamless execution across markets and combining deep security industry expertise with truly global reach. The team was supported by Lincoln’s Capital Advisory Group, which facilitated attractive and flexible financing options from leading financing partners.

Following an extensive preparation, Lincoln led a high-pace, competitive auction process on behalf of the shareholders, generating strong interest from infrastructure investors, private equity and strategics. Specialist infrastructure investor Arcus Infrastructure Partners emerged as the best partner to support WCCTV’s next stage of growth. Arcus will provide access to long-term capital and expertise in scaling global businesses to accelerate WCCTV’s already impressive growth trajectory.

Our Perspective

Martijn Koops, Lincoln International Managing Director who co-led the transaction, commented, “This transaction is another landmark deal in the rapidly growing temporary video surveillance space. WCCTV is the only European RVS provider that has successfully exported its success formula into the nascent U.S. market, creating a truly differentiated transatlantic platform with massive headroom for growth.”

Lewis Gray, Lincoln International Managing Director, added, “We are delighted to have been able to support Tim, David and LDC at this important juncture in WCCTV’s journey. This transaction is a reward for delivering remarkable transatlantic growth since day one, with roots in exceptional customer service and constant innovation. David and his team have found the perfect partner in Arcus, and I am sure they will continue to capture value in the huge but nascent U.S. market.”
