Marking 40 years in business with new investment, and the same family values and culture at its core.

TWO Services has completed a new investment partnership with YFM Equity Partners, an independent UK private equity firm.

When Alan Osborn started TWO Services in 1986, all he had was a telephone and an orange crate for a desk. Everything the business has become since has grown from that beginning, built through hard work and determination. Today, TWO Services calls Essex home, alongside operational centres in London and Leeds, and a team that includes people who have been part of that journey for 25, 30, even 35 years, a loyalty that says as much about the business as any set of numbers could.

In practical terms, the partnership funds a bigger engineering and cleaning workforce, newer equipment and wider coverage across the UK, backed by an investor with a track record of helping similar businesses grow properly rather than quickly.

What won't change

Here's the part we care about most: none of this changes how TWO Services operates. The same people, the same standards and the same close relationships with clients that have carried this business for 40 years all stay exactly as they are. Growth, for us, means doing more of what already works, not doing something different.

Barry Osborn, Managing Director for TWO Services, said

"This is a hugely exciting moment for TWO Services. This partnership gives us a real opportunity to strengthen our operations, accelerate our growth and build an even brighter future for the business. But I want to be clear about what won't change: the family values and culture that have made us successful for 40 years remain at the heart of everything we do, for our people and for our clients."

Zach Francis, Investment Director at YFM Equity Partners, who led the deal alongside Srikar Karri, said:

“Over 40 years, the Osborn family and the wider team have built TWO Services into a trusted specialist, with long-standing client relationships and a culture reflected in the loyalty of its people. The opportunity to grow across each of its service lines and extend its national coverage, while preserving the values behind its success, made this a compelling investment. We’re looking forward to working with Barry and the team on the next stage of the business’s growth.”

Thank you for everything that's brought TWO Services to this point: 40 years of hard work, loyalty and trust.
