Generational Equity, a leading advisor to privately-held and family-owned businesses for mergers, acquisitions and strategic growth initiatives is pleased to announce the sale of its client, D&D Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. D&D is a local provider of residential plumbing and HVAC services in Vacaville, CA.

The acquiring company was Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air, a Sacramento, CA based residential and commercial service provider. Bonney is funded by Skylight Capital, a Seattle based private equity group. The transaction closed on June 23, 2011, led by Managing Directors, Stephen Crisham, Robert Gurrola and Assistant Vice President, Toby Pence.

The value of the transaction was not disclosed. "This transaction combined the buyer's resources of capital and related industry experience coupled with the optimized target company, creating the environment which will take the company to the next level," said Mr. Gurrola. "D&D plumbing presented an excellent growth opportunity for Bonney," commented Mark Bonney, founder of Bonney Plumbing. "We are excited to be servicing Vacaville and surrounding communities as we begin our expansion toward Marin County and the Bay Area." Collin Hathaway said, "Bonney is poised for growth and we're excited to welcome the D&D employees onto our team." In March 2008, Generational Equity successfully assisted with Skylight Capital's investment in Bonney Plumbing.

The investment was led by Managing Director, Eric Sanderson, who stated at that time, "Bonney Plumbing will now have additional capital to expand its services and market territory to better serve its customers and offer employees greater advancement opportunities. In addition, Skylight will see a lot of reward from the growing company." Ryan Binkley President of Generational Equity commented, "Generational Equity believes that every deal we do should be a win-win for the seller (our client) and the buyer. There are few things more rewarding in this industry than seeing a 'done deal' that continues to prosper and grow post-closing.
