About the business
Amaro is a specialist provider of installation, testing, maintenance and commissioning services for railway signalling equipment and electrical power schemes.
The business also undertakes surveys and light civil engineering works, including level crossing construction and platform extensions. Amaro supports major rail infrastructure programmes and is recognised for its delivery capability, safety standards and technical expertise within the rail sector.
Our partnership
Agathos acquired Amaro through an off-market management buy-in, partnering with the leadership team to support the next phase of growth.
The partnership has focused on providing strategic and operational support, allowing management to concentrate on execution, service quality and expanding the business within the rail infrastructure market.
Value creation and impact
Value creation has centred on supporting delivery capability, operational strength and market reputation:
- Consistent delivery across complex rail programmes, including major Thameslink works
- Continued strengthening of Amaro’s reputation as a trusted delivery partner within the UK rail sector
Together, these initiatives have strengthened Amaro’s position as a highly regarded SME supporting critical rail infrastructure projects across the UK.
