In February 2025, Erisbeg acquired a majority stake in CHM. For a business that has spent more than twenty years building the most capable traffic management operation in Ireland, it marks the start of a new chapter.
CHM has spent decades delivering traffic management, road marking and motorway maintenance across some of Ireland’s most complex infrastructure programmes, including the M50 and Dublin Airport. With Erisbeg’s backing, the focus now is on building what comes next.
Erisbeg is one of Ireland’s most active private equity firms, managing a €175 million fund and investing in high-potential businesses across essential services and critical infrastructure. Their approach is hands-on, working closely with management teams to scale businesses both organically and through strategic acquisition.
This backing allows CHM to invest with greater scale and consistency – in people, in systems, in safety, and in innovation.
What this means in practice
CHM is operating with nationwide coverage across Ireland providing customers with one partner delivering consistent standards on every project, in every location.
Our offering is fully integrated: high-speed and low-speed traffic management, vehicle restraint systems, minor civils, planning and design, VMS, event management and rental, all delivered through a structured and coordinated approach.
Our operatives are NHSS12-trained, and it is the foundation for how we deliver control, consistency and safety across complex infrastructure programmes, and the baseline from which we are raising standards across the wider industry.
Erisbeg’s backing accelerates what comes next. Investment is already underway in new solutions being introduced to the Irish market, which we will be showcasing at the ICE Expo
“What we’re bringing to the market reflects where the industry is heading. Ireland’s infrastructure is growing fast, and the standard of how we protect people on those projects has to grow with it. Bringing innovation to Ireland is something I’m genuinely proud of, and we can’t wait to show it at ICE.” Bryan Hosier, Managing Director, CHM.
Safety delivered, with reliability and care – that’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
We will be at the ICE exhibition this year, and we are looking forward to sharing what is next for CHM. We will see you there.
