Derbyshire consultancy returns to independent ownership

Merebrook Consulting, a Cromford-based environmental consultancy, has regained independent ownership after previously being part of Spanish engineering group IDOM. The firm, established in 1997, provides services covering air quality, odour control, asbestos, contaminated land, regulatory compliance, and materials management.

Recent projects include the restoration of Sudbury Gas Works in Derbyshire, reconstruction of two schools in Lincolnshire, and remediation of a former tar wharf and fuel depot on Portsmouth’s seafront. Following the exit from IDOM, Merebrook now operates within M&L Holdings, a Gibraltar-based portfolio spanning construction, building products, and related industries, with operational bases in London, Barcelona, and Dubai.

The transition was facilitated by M&A advisers KBS Corporate in Bolton, managing a cross-border sale that returned the firm to UK ownership. The move provides Merebrook with greater flexibility to expand its service offerings and strengthen client relationships.
