Who Owns Checkatrade

Checkatrade is owned by Brookfield Corporation, a Canadian asset management firm. Brookfield acquired Checkatrade in 2022 by purchasing HomeServe, the parent company of Checkatrade^[1][3][5].

The company was originally founded by Kevin Byrne in 1998 and headquartered in Selsey, West Sussex, before its relocation to Portsmouth in 2019. HomeServe first acquired Checkatrade in stages—initially buying a 40% stake in 2017, then the remaining 60% later that year. Brookfield completed its acquisition of HomeServe, and thus Checkatrade, for over £4 billion in 2022^[1][3][5].
