Enva Group was formed on 1 June 2017 through a Private Equity backed buy out of the four Environmental Services operating subsidiaries of DCC plc. Since then, Enva has completed thirteen acquisitions and more than doubled in size to become the £400m revenue operation that it is today. In April 2023 Enva was acquired by its current owners, I Squared Capital, from Exponent Private Equity.
