Platform Continues to Build Scale within the Mountain West

OREM, Utah, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Any Hour Group ("Any Hour" or "the Company"), a leading provider of home services, today announced that Black Diamond Experts ("Black Diamond") and Bumble Breeze Plumbing, Heating and Air ("Bumble Breeze") have joined Any Hour's growing group of brands. These new partnerships bring together two of the leading brands in the rapidly growing Utah market, further cementing Any Hour's market leadership in the state, while also expanding its presence in Nevada.

Founded in 1961, Any Hour offers homeowners peace of mind through a full suite of high-quality HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. The Company has achieved a market-leading position through rapid organic growth, and in July 2021 partnered with Knox Lane, a San Francisco-based private equity firm, to accelerate Any Hour's trajectory.

Through its partnership with Black Diamond, Any Hour has joined forces with one of Utah's leading home services brands, further expanding its reach within Salt Lake City while adding a presence in the Park City and St. George markets. Any Hour's partnership with Bumble Breeze marks the Company's expansion into the large and growing Las Vegas market, following last year's entry into Reno.

Wyatt Hepworth, CEO of Any Hour, said, "We are excited about the combined strength of the Any Hour and Black Diamond brands in our home market of Utah, and the addition of Bumble Breeze, which further expands our footprint in Nevada. These are highly strategic partnerships for Any Hour, bringing together exceptional teams to achieve even greater success."

Jeremy Hansen, COO of Any Hour, added, "Continuing to deepen our presence in existing markets has been a strategic focus for us as we've added new partners to our group of brands this year. We are thrilled to welcome Black Diamond and Bumble Breeze to the Any Hour Group and look forward to supporting our new partners in their next phase of growth."
