Phenna Group has made its first major strategic acquisition in continental Europe for 2025, snapping up Sfera Srl, an Italian advisory firm.
It is the Nottingham-based group’s 13th acquisition of 2025 and marks the beginning of an ambitious expansion into the region.
SFERA – Engineering Solutions is a nationwide engineering firm founded in 2013 to support companies in managing regulatory compliance as well as designing and managing production operations.
Sfera specialises in regulatory consultancy, offering services such as regulatory gap analysis, risk assessments, CE marking of machinery, ssystem design and engineering, and Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) compliance.
Daniele Giustiniani, CEO of Sfera Srl, said: “Joining Phenna Group marks a new chapter for Sfera. We will continue to serve our clients with the same focus and expertise, now enhanced by international collaboration and the backing of a dynamic and forward-thinking group.”
Phil Marshall, CEO of Phenna Group, added: “This acquisition is a cornerstone of our European growth strategy. Sfera adds new capabilities to our Group, particularly in advisory and operational excellence, and strengthens our presence in a key market. We are excited to welcome the team and look forward to working together to deliver high-value outcomes for our clients.”
The acquisition of Sfera aligns with Phenna Group’s broader strategy to build a diverse network of Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC) businesses, augmented by specialist advisory and support services.
