A NEW acquisition is set to expand specialist capabilities for a growing environmental consultancy.
Daresbury-based Environmental Protection Group (EPG) has acquired Shrewsbury-based Hafren Water, a consultancy specialising in hydrology and hydrogeology.
The move aims to strengthen EPG’s ability to deliver integrated water and geoenvironmental management solutions across the UK and beyond.
Phil Williams, director of EPG, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Hafren Water into the EPG family.
“Their hydrology and hydrogeology expertise will significantly strengthen our services and help us deliver even greater value to our clients.
“This acquisition is about long-term growth and building strong foundations for the future.”
Hafren Water will continue to operate under its existing brand and remain based in Shrewsbury.
The two companies will work together to share knowledge and deliver high-quality services to clients.
The acquisition also introduces new clients and sector opportunities for EPG, particularly in quarrying, where Hafren Water has an established reputation.
Hafren Water’s team brings expertise in water resource management and flood risk assessment, further supporting EPG’s technical capabilities in groundwater and piling works risk assessments.
Chris Leake, director of Hafren Water, said: “Joining EPG allows us to build on our existing strengths while collaborating to expand our capabilities and reach.
“We’re excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring for our clients, our people, and the wider industry.”
EPG looks forward to a successful partnership with Hafren Water, expanding its ability to deliver innovative, sustainable, and technically robust environmental solutions.
