Bishop Lifting<\/a>, a portfolio company of Altamont Capital Partners, has acquired Worswick Group Holdings, with ten operating locations across Florida.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1958 as Certified Slings and Supply, the business has grown under the leadership of the Worswick family to include Bubba Off-Road Recovery Gear, Florida Wire & Rigging Supply, Secured Global, and Academy Training Center and serve customers across Florida, the United States, and internationally.<\/p>\n

Worswick Group marks Bishop\u2019s eleventh acquisition since 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n

Worswick Group marks Bishop<\/a>\u2019s eleventh acquisition since 2012 and is the fourth add-on acquisition since Altamont acquired the platform in February 2022.\u00a0This acquisition of well-run companies is in line with Bishop\u2019s ongoing strategy to enhance its offerings and scale in order to become the country\u2019s leading provider of lifting products and services. While the company recently announced its rebranding to Bishop Lifting<\/a>, Certified Slings and Supply will maintain its local branding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to continue our growth through this acquisition of a company that contributes great people and culture, as well as establish a physical presence in the Florida market,\u201d said Harold King, president of Bishop Lifting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoug and his team have built a reputation for exceptional customer service across a number of end markets including the entertainment and mining industries. We look forward to building on their success as we continue to expand our national footprint to serve customers locally with our deep industry knowledge and high-quality products.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to partnering with Bishop<\/a> to build upon the foundation that my family has solidified over decades,\u201d said Doug Worswick, prior Worswick Group Holdings owner who accepted a leadership role at Bishop Lifting<\/a> in conjunction with the closing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt our core is a culture of service, quality and teamwork and we are honored to become part of the team that was founded by David Bishop, whose passion for serving his team and customers clearly carries on through Bishop Lifting<\/a>\u2019s leadership today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
