Nottingham engineering firm sold to Cheshire counterpart
Nottingham-based NDT Services, the pile testing engineering company, has been sold to Cheshire environmental and engineering services company RSK Group for an undisclosed sum.
NDT Services has been providing a wide range of testing services at construction sites throughout the UK for over 29 years. Its projects include various Airbus UK facilities, Wembley Stadium and the London Olympic Park.
NDT Services’ 20 staff will join RSK’s geosciences and engineering division headed by divisional director George Tuckwell.
John Purser, managing director of NDT Services, said: “The prospect of NDT Services moving forward with the support of RSK is exciting for staff, suppliers and clients alike. We feel that adding our specialist pile testing services to the RSK portfolio is a perfect fit that will enable the company to fulfil its potential within the industry.”
Permira Debt Managers has funded RSK on the deal as part of a £140m package agreed in 2017 that will include about 10 acquisitions for the group. RSK’s advisers on these latest purchases were Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services (due diligence), Dow Schofield Watts Corporate Finance (corporate finance) and Memery Crystal (legal).
