Start Capital Completes Acquisition of GenAir UK Ltd.

We are excited to announce that STAR Capital Partnership LLP has completed its investment in GenAir UK Limited, making STAR the majority owner alongside GenAir’s founding team. 


This marks a major milestone in the growth of GenAir within the compressed air rental and specialist hire market. With more capital, strategic backing and infrastructure support, we can accelerate investment into our fleet, sustainability technologies (electric/hybrid compressors, low-emission options), and national service coverage. 


As part of the deal, Andy Wright (former CEO at Sunbelt Rentals UK) joins GenAir as Chairman, bringing decades of industry leadership to our board. 


Moreover, with STAR’s backing, we aim to strengthen our position in specialist compressor hire and compressed air solutions across sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure, utilities and more — reinforcing our reputation for reliability, innovation and responsiveness.


Watch this space as we invest in fleet expansion, green technologies, and enhanced customer support to bring you the next generation of compressor rental solutions.
