Nottingham-headquartered Phenna Group, which invests in and partners with selected niche, independent Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) companies, has snapped up Prensa Pty in its 16th acquisition of 2025.

The Australian business provides tailored, strategic and practical solutions to all clients’ property risks, including asbestos management, environmental testing, risk management, occupational hygiene, and emergency management services.

Led by Cameron Hunter and William Meszaros, Prensa is a trusted partner to clients in both the public and private sectors, operating from locations across Australia in Melbourne, Geelong, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Perth, Canberra, and Hobart.

Cameron Hunter, director of Prensa, said: “Over the years, Prensa has grown by focusing on developing our people who are able to provide practical and effective solutions that help our clients manage HSE-related risks.

“Joining Phenna Group will give us access to additional resources, expertise, and networks that will provide further career growth opportunities to our highly professional team. I’m excited about the opportunities this partnership will open up for all staff and our clients across Australia.”

William Meszaros, director of Prensa, said: “This is a proud moment for Prensa and our team. We’ve built our reputation on technical excellence, reliability, and strong client relationships, and becoming part of Phenna Group is a natural next step in our journey.

“With their backing, we’ll be able to offer staff further professional growth opportunities, invest in new capabilities, and continue providing the highest standards of service to our clients nationwide.”

Brett Coleman, divisional managing director for Phenna Group, said: “Prensa’s capabilities and market coverage make them a natural fit for our Food and Life Sciences Division. Their strong technical expertise and outstanding reputation complement our existing services in Australia perfectly, and I’m delighted to welcome Cameron, William, and their talented team into the group.”

Phil Marshall, CEO of Phenna Group, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Prensa to Phenna Group. Their exceptional track record in property risk management and extensive geographic presence will strengthen our offering in Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

“This acquisition reflects our commitment to partnering with high-quality businesses that share our focus on technical excellence, customer service, and sustainable growth.”
