Hercules Site Services Plc (LSE:HERC) has taken a strategic step into the UK power sector with the acquisition of Advantage NRG Ltd, a specialist provider of skilled linesmen for overhead power transmission projects. The deal, valued at up to £15.7 million, positions Hercules to capitalize on the growing demand for electricity infrastructure upgrades driven by the UK’s energy transition and net-zero goals.
This move not only broadens Hercules’ industry reach but is also expected to deliver improved profit margins and earnings growth. The acquisition enhances the company’s workforce capabilities and training capacity, directly addressing the UK’s ongoing shortage of qualified utility infrastructure workers.
In addition to expanding into a new vertical, Hercules continues to benefit from strong revenue growth and disciplined financial management. Its ability to generate attractive dividend yields and reduce debt adds to its investment appeal, even as it navigates challenges in broader market profitability indicators.
