London, 5 January 2026 – Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of WCCTV Group Limited (“WCCTV” or the “Company”) by Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 4 SCSp (“AEIF4” or “the Fund”) alongside the WCCTV management team. The acquisition will mark the first investment for AEIF4, which successfully reached its €3bn hard cap in December 2025, following a seven-month fundraising period. The transaction also marks an exit for UK private equity investor LDC following a successful five-year partnership.
WCCTV is a full-service, specialised leasing provider of managed re-deployable video surveillance (“RVS”) assets for temporary security and monitoring solutions in the UK and the US. Established in 2001 and headquartered in Rochdale, UK, WCCTV offers an end-to-end specialist offering, comprising the leasing of fuel cell and solar-powered CCTV towers and trailers, along with a wrapper of value-added services such as advisory on site configuration, tech-enabled surveillance and monitoring connected to outsourced alarm receiving centres, ongoing asset maintenance, fuel provision, and, increasingly, data capture to support customer operations.
WCCTV operates from a strategically located network of 10 depot hubs in the UK and US, owning and leasing a well invested fleet comprising c. 1,655 RVS towers and c. 1,520 RVS trailers with a technical asset life for both RVS asset pools of c. 15-20 years. The Company serves a diversified, blue-chip customer base across infrastructure and utilities, government and law enforcement, large-scale commercial and industrial construction, retail, logistics, car parking and property management for a range of security and monitoring use cases. WCCTV’s solutions have a high degree of positive impact from an environmental, social and governance perspective, with solar-powered and low carbon towers and trailers across its fleet and a critical role to play in ensuring the security, safety and compliance of customer sites and assets.
WCCTV is one of the market leaders in the RVS solutions space, providing critical RVS asset leasing solutions which protect and monitor infrastructure and enterprise assets for a diversified range of resilient customer end markets. The Company is well positioned to support its customers through an ongoing multi-decade infrastructure and utilities asset renewal cycle as well as steady growth in broader industrial, commercial and government end market activity. WCCTV serves as an essential operating partner to its customers in addressing increasing security and monitoring requirements linked to rising asset values, sustained and elevated crime rates, worksite health and safety requirements, and tightening insurance, compliance and regulatory standards. As a pioneer in the development of RVS solutions, the Company continues to evolve its asset fleet and service proposition to ensure industry-leading operational standards and capabilities as RVS assets become the go-to solution to address a wide range of security and monitoring requirements.
Jordan Cott, Partner and Head of Logistics & Industrials at Arcus, commented: “WCCTV is an excellent fit with our AEIF4 investment strategy, providing mission-critical solutions to resilient and growing end markets, with a longstanding market leadership position underpinned by its value-added asset leasing business model and trusted customer relationships, and a significant value creation opportunity as the Company continues to innovate, improve and grow. WCCTV stood out as an ideal platform in the RVS solutions landscape given its unique combination of time-tested market leadership in the UK together with its strong foothold in the fast-growing US market. This is a perfect stage for Arcus to enter this market and support the business, as we will apply our significant experience investing in industrial asset leasing companies to optimise and accelerate WCCTV’s ambitious growth plan. We are delighted for this to mark our first investment for AEIF4 and look forward to partnering with David and the broader WCCTV management team through the next chapter.”
David Gilbertson, CEO of WCCTV, commented: “I am delighted to have a leading infrastructure investor like Arcus on board for the next phase of growth at WCCTV. Arcus recognises the strength of WCCTV, our people, our customer relationships, and the market-leading systems we have built over the past two decades. We have full alignment with Arcus on our long-term strategy and ambition, and we strongly believe that this partnership will give us the ideal platform to scale the business further, invest in our assets, technology and service offering, and ultimately accelerate growth across the UK and the US. This transaction marks an important milestone for WCCTV, and I am excited to work with Arcus as we build on our leading position and supercharge the next chapter of our growth journey.”
The transaction is expected to complete in Q1 2026, subject to relevant regulatory clearances.
