Acquiring exceptional trade service businesses across Australia.
Our Approach
Emrald Holdings acquires and grows established trade service businesses across HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and industrial maintenance.
We focus on companies with strong teams, loyal customers, recurring revenue, and a reputation built on quality work and trusted relationships. Our approach is disciplined and selective, targeting one high quality acquisition every 12 to 24 months.
When we acquire a business, we preserve what made it successful in the first place. Existing leadership remains in place, culture is protected, and the business continues to operate under its own identity.
Emrald Holdings provides the strategic support, operational discipline, and long term stability needed to help each company reach its full potential.
We are not building for scale alone. We are building a long term group of exceptional service businesses that create lasting value for employees, customers, and owners.
One exceptional business at a time.
Meet the Founder
Waylon Biggar
Waylon Biggar founded Emrald Holdings with a clear purpose: to acquire exceptional essential service businesses and help them thrive for the long term. His background is in the delivery of complex infrastructure projects across Australia's oil and gas, rail, water, tunnelling, and major infrastructure sectors. Over more than fifteen years, he has led large teams, managed critical projects, and operated in environments where safety, accountability, and execution are non negotiable.
That experience shapes how Emrald Holdings approaches every acquisition.
We believe great businesses are built over decades through hard work, trusted relationships, and strong leadership. Our role is to preserve what makes them successful, support the people behind them, and provide the stability needed for the next chapter of growth.
We move deliberately.
We value trust over speed.
We view every acquisition as a long term commitment, not a transaction.
We protect what matters.
We strengthen what works.
We build what lasts.
Focused Capital. Meaningful Growth.
We acquire and grow essential service companies through disciplined, long term partnerships with business owners, investors, and lenders. We grow through operational improvement, business modernisation, and selective acquisition, building a compounding group of high quality, essential service businesses across Australia.
