In August 2025 Maven completed the profitable sale of UAP, following a period of significant investment and impressive revenue growth. The exit delivered a strong return for Maven's Buyout Fund and Maven Investor Partners.
Security solutions provider UAP has designed, manufactured and distributed advanced door and window hardware since 1996 has developed a portfolio of proprietary, IP-rich product designs with a strong emphasis on high security and advanced fire rated solutions for both B2B and B2C markets. With a focus on innovation and compliance, UAP’s products are rigorously tested to meet standards including Certifire, Secured by Design and BSI Kitemark, providing trusted hardware for manufacturers, installers and end users.
Maven first backed UAP in September 2018, leading the £20 million management buyout of the business to support its ambitious organic growth and buy-and-build strategy. Over the period of Maven’s involvement, UAP has completed five acquisitions, consolidating its position as a market leader, while investing heavily in technology, R&D and a new state-of-the-art facility on the outskirts of Manchester.
UAP have been proud to be supported by Mavel Capital Partners both financially and with practical tangible advice throughout our partnership. Since 2018 we have made five significant acquisitions as a part of our buy and build strategy, we have also had a major relocation and investment into state-of-the-art headquarters in Bury and we have grown organically. We were always confident that if we needed support that Maven would be there standing shoulder to shoulder with us.
