The acquisition gives REDARC an established North American manufacturing and distribution base and extends its power management range into new customer segments.

REDARC engaged Nash Advisory as buy-side financial adviser. Nash prepared the North American acquisition long list, screening over 1,000 companies, then ran commercial due diligence and supported the negotiation through to completion on 19 September 2026.

Founded in 1967, Crown Coaches is a third-generation, family-owned school bus and charter operator and one of Australia’s most respected school transport businesses. In addition to providing charter services to corporate clients and private groups, Crown Coaches is one of the largest providers of specialist transport services for students with disability. The business has also been an early adopter of electric buses, supported by a strong focus on fleet management, route optimisation and data-driven operational efficiency.

Nash Advisory was appointed as the exclusive sell-side adviser to Crown Coaches, managing the sale process from initial preparation through to completion. Nash undertook a detailed analysis of the company's fleet, school bus contracts, route network and charter operations to develop a comprehensive financial and operational profile. This work highlighted the strength of Crown Coaches' longstanding customer relationships, established revenue base, specialist transport capabilities and opportunities for future growth.

Crown Coaches was successfully acquired by Ventura, one of Victoria's leading bus operators, as part of its strategy to expand its school transport operations and strengthen its specialist service capabilities. Crown Coaches' established school contracts, extensive fleet and leading position in transporting students with disability represented key strategic attractions for Ventura, providing opportunities to expand its network and realise operational synergies.

The transaction was led by Tom Butler, Managing Director of Nash Advisory.
