Cleaning services firm eyes growth on €175m takeover

Noonan Services, best known for its office-cleaning services, is eyeing growth in Ireland and the UK in the coming years after its €175m acquisition by South African fund Bidvest.

The Johannesburg firm, which has interests including catering and office supplies, said it struck a deal with Noonan’s majority owner, Alchemy Partners.

The existing management of the Dublin-based firm, led by chief executive John O’Donoghue, will continue to lead the company.
