As with everything we do, we've really pulled it out of the bag on the fundraising front!  Just over a year ago, we set ourselves the challenge of raising £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and we've exceeded our ambitious target, and then some.​

Having now topped the £14,000 mark, our generous donations will really make a difference to the brilliant charity.  We’ve worked hard to achieve this impressive amount.  We’ve seen the total amount raised grow and grow over the last few months and we’re absolutely delighted with this.

“WOW I really can’t thank you both enough.  £14,000 is just incredible and I would like to thank you all.  With over 3 million people in the UK living with and after cancer. It has never been more urgent to make sure we have the support we need in place. Each and every day across the North West alone, 110 people hear the words they have cancer and every penny raised goes directly to making sure they are supported, even before diagnosis” said Cheryl Jenkinson, our Macmillan fundraising partner.

“I am so proud of what we’ve been able to do for Macmillan.  It’s a truly worthwhile charity and it’s amazing that we’ve been able to make such a difference,” said Hannah Mather, Group HR Director.

We’re delighted to announce that UK Road Tanker Inspections Ltd (UKRTI), has joined the British Engineering Services Group.

We’re proud to have evolved into the successful company we are today, setting the highest benchmark possible.  Our team of experts and our drive for what we do is what defines us and we’re delighted to have added even more industry specialists to the British Engineering Service Group with this acquisition.

 UKRTI is a national provider of road tanker inspection, testing and certification services with 15 employees, including eight Engineer Surveyors.  Like British Engineering Services, the company is focused on working alongside its customers to keep them safe and legally compliant and is a great fit for our Group.

“Welcoming UKRTI to British Engineering Services is a great move for both companies.  We’re always looking to add businesses like this to our Group.  With a team of brilliant people and a loyal customer base in a niche market, UKRTI presented us with a really great opportunity and we’re excited to have them on board,” said Stewart Kay, Group CEO for British Engineering Services.

 Ongoing growth is a priority for our business and expansion by acquisition continues to be a focus as we look to complement our strong organic growth.  2019 has been a great year for British Engineering Services so far and we’re excited to be expanding our services further by adding even more industry experts to our team.

UKRTI will continue to operate out of their office in Leeds under the leadership of Kate Thompson, Managing Director.  “This is great news for our business.  We’re excited to be part of a company with such an exciting future and look forward to playing a part in this,” said Kate.
