Glasgow-headquartered Mabbett & Associates has acquired the assets of Inverness-based Nevis Environmental.
The deal for the independent ecology, environmental management and planning services consultancy should bolster Mabbett’s technical team - including enhancing technical services in: natural capital and land management, climate change and carbon, peatland services, ecology and environmental surveys, planning and development, construction environmental and operational monitoring.
Mabbett will also get enhanced geographic coverage following the deal - for an undisclosed sum - with the addition of new Inverness and Carlisle offices.
Mabbett managing director Derek J. McNab said: “The Nevis Environmental technical team has a strong profile and long-established reputation for delivering quality ecology and planning consultancy services.
“Their team values and attributes make them a great fit for Mabbett and we look forward to integrating and working together to our mutual benefit in the years ahead.”
Nevis director Kathryn Fraser commented: “Joining the Mabbett family is a great opportunity to expand our technical service offering and enhance our geographical coverage.
“I look forward to continuing to work with my team, enhancing the personal and first-class service offering we are renowned for and embracing the new opportunities the deal with Mabbett will bring.”
The transaction is the second major investment by the consulting firm during the first quarter, following the recent acquisition of GH Johnston Building Consultants.
A further deal announcement is expected in early spring, with the group expansion coming on the back of a year of double-digit growth.
