Its clients include water, rail, and construction, as well as domestic customers.
With more than 180 employees, working across five depots throughout the South West, Glanville Environmental is Adler & Allan’s largest acquisition to date, seventh in the utilities sector, and tenth overall in the last three years.
Jamie Treliving, managing director at Glanville Environmental, said: “We are thrilled to be joining the Adler & Allan Group.
“The extent of Adler & Allan’s service range, combined with our presence in the South West is a fantastic opportunity to broaden our customer offer, whilst further strengthening Adler & Allan’s leading position in the wastewater recycling industry.”
Henrik Pedersen, chief executive officer of Adler & Allan, said: “Driven by our purpose of creating better environmental outcomes, welcoming Glanville Environmental into the Adler & Allan family represents another tangible step towards realising our plan to scale our operations and further strengthen our market leading package of integrated environmental solutions.”
This acquisition comes after sustainable remediation specialist, MEL Environmental Solutions, joined the Adler & Allan Group in October 2024.
