Clearwater International advises Road Traffic Solutions on its sale to Equistone-backed BUKO

Clearwater International has advised Road Traffic Solutions Limited (Road Traffic Solutions), a UK-based specialist in temporary traffic and event management solutions, on its sale to Equistone-backed BUKO Traffic & Safety (BUKO), a leading provider of outsourced traffic and safety management solutions in the Netherlands.

Headquartered in Scunthorpe, with six further depots throughout the UK, Road Traffic Solutions specialises in temporary traffic and event management solutions through its divisions of Traffic Management, a provider of solutions for planned and emergency road works, and Total Event Solutions, offering security services for events in the UK, including sporting events, festivals, and ceremonies organised by the British monarchy such as the King’s Coronation amongst others. Road Traffic Solutions' portfolio of clients includes utility companies, construction companies, event organisers, and local authorities.

Headquartered in Barendrecht, the Netherlands, BUKO employs more than 400 people and successfully oversees several thousand projects annually. The company is a leading provider of outsourced traffic and safety management solutions in the Netherlands and consists of two business units, BUKO Infrasupport, a specialist in end-to-end outsourced temporary traffic management solutions to contractors and public authorities, and BUKO Waakt, a provider of temporary remote security solutions that includes camera surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and access control systems for construction sites.

Since funds advised by Equistone acquired a majority stake in BUKO in February 2023, the company has pursued a growth strategy focused on building its presence in its home market and expanding into neighbouring countries supported by strong market dynamics. The acquisition of Road Traffic Solutions represents a key milestone for this strategy and marks BUKO’s first step outside the Netherlands, providing an important foothold in the UK market and a basis for further growth.
