About Us
HistoryWe've been around since 1963 and from that time have grown to become one of the largest companies specialising in workplace services to businesses throughout the UK.
In June 2001, PHS Group plc began trading on the London Stock Exchange in what was one of the biggest flotations of the year. At flotation, the company was valued at £414 million. In September 2001 it was admitted to the FTSE 250 index.
On September 16th 2005 the PHS Group was de-listed from the Stock Market, reverting to private ownership by Norfolk Acquisition plc (a company formed at the direction of Charterhouse General Partners) in an acquisition valued at £600 million plus PHS’ net debt of £139m.
