Nottingham-headquartered Phenna Group, which invests in and partners with independent Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) companies, has made its 18th acquisition of 2025.
The Group has swooped for Aquatech, a specialist provider of water hygiene, water testing and legionella risk assessment services based in Wolverhampton.
Established in 1999, Aquatech delivers compliance and testing services to customers across a wide range of sectors, including housing associations, facilities management companies, maintenance providers, food and drink manufacturers, universities, hotels, local councils and Ministry of Defence sites.
Suki Gill, founder and managing director of Aquatech, said: “We are proud of the strong reputation Aquatech has built through the hard work of our team and the trust of our clients. Joining Phenna Group gives us the opportunity to accelerate our growth, broaden our service offering, and continue to provide the highest standards of service.
“This partnership will allow us to build on our heritage, create exciting new opportunities for our colleagues, and strengthen the value we deliver to our customers.”
Brian Shannon, divisional MD, built environment, Phenna Group, said: “Aquatech is a fantastic addition to our Built Environment Division. Their expertise in water and air hygiene services is highly complementary to our existing portfolio, and I am very pleased to welcome Suki and the team into the division. Together, we look forward to supporting their continued success.”
Phil Marshall, Phenna Group CEO, added: “Aquatech has an excellent track record of serving a diverse client base across a number of highly regulated sectors. Their strong reputation, coupled with the passion of their team, makes them a great fit within our built environment division and wider group of companies.”
Hill Dickinson LLP provided legal advice for Phenna Group, while Knights Professional Services Limited advised Aquatech.
