Ipsum bolsters power division following acquisition of Shropshire company
Chorley-based specialist engineering services provider, Ipsum, has acquired Wootton & Wootton, a Shrewsbury-based transmission and distribution engineering company, for an undisclosed sum.
The addition will complement Ipsum’s work with UK transmission and distribution network operators, developers and private networks owners.
Not only will the acquisition bolster existing capabilities in electrical cable systems up to and including 275kV, its Shropshire location will allow Ipsum to better serve the Midlands and Wales.
Wootton & Wootton is a specialist transmission and distribution services provider, with extensive knowledge of cable installation, jointing, testing, and decommissioning.
These capabilities will fit seamlessly into the existing Ipsum Power offering.
Andrew Cowan, CEO at Ipsum, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Wootton & Wootton into the Ipsum family.
“This acquisition represents a strategic step forward in our power division, combining our strengths to create a powerhouse of expertise.
“This acquisition not only expands our market presence but also allows us to better serve our existing client base.”

“Together, we’re poised to unlock new opportunities that will benefit our customers, employees, and stakeholders, while driving sustainable growth and reliability in power distribution and transmission. This partnership is a testament to our shared vision of powering a brighter, more efficient future.”
