The Dwyer Group:
Private Ownership Helps Clean Up

As a diversified home services provider, the Dwyer Group faced the inevitable quarterly challenges of most publicly held corporations and wondered if there was a way to keep a consistent focus on the long-term rather than the shorter term expectations of its stockholders.

Working with The Riverside Company, a private equity finance partner, the Dwyer Group went private, a move that has restored its traditional approach to longer time horizons. “This has been a tremendous benefit for us as a franchisor to have the solid financial backing, due diligence capability and strategic advice of a private equity partner who really understands the needs of the franchise business,” said Dina Dwyer-Owens, Chairman & CEO, who explained that the company now benefits from a partner who provides both business coaching and strong banking relationships yet allows the company to direct its operations and culture.

The Dwyer Group owns and operates companies including Rainbow International® Restoration & Cleaning, Mr. Rooter® Corporation (Drain Doctor® in the UK), Aire Serv® Heating & Air Conditioning, Mr. Electric®, Mr. Appliance® and Glass Doctor®.
