We’re delighted to share that we will be bringing 2022 to an end by welcoming two new businesses to the BES Group.  Strainstall UK and Mimic have joined us from James Fisher and Sons plc, global provider of specialised services to the marine, energy and defence industries worldwide.

Strainstall UK is an onshore and offshore load and asset monitoring company, with Mimic a provider of intelligent condition and performance monitoring solutions, predominantly in the maritime sector.  Their skill set and product offering makes them a great fit for BES Asset Reliability and will really strengthen this important and growing part of our business.

Finding companies that share our customer focused approach and put safety above everything else, continues to be important to us and we’re extremely excited to have done just that with Strainstall UK and Mimic. Together, they will add around 80 fantastic people to our team, and we’re delighted to have them on board.

These are the ninth and tenth businesses we’ve added to the BES Group since 2019 and our fourth and fifth this year alone.  We’ve worked hard to ensure we are growing in a way that supports the needs of our customers, providing them with access to even more of the very best risk management solutions supplied by an enhanced team of the very best people.

“We are absolutely delighted to be growing our Group further with these acquisitions from James Fisher Group.  Both Strainstall UK and Mimic businesses, bring with them a group of highly skilled people to complement our existing colleagues. We know that both businesses will have a successful future as part of the BES Group, strengthening our solution offerings, in the area of Asset Reliability.

This is an exciting time for both sets of customers and all our people.  Growth by acquisition is an important part of the future growth of our organisation, alongside organic growth, and welcoming two more brilliant businesses to our Group is a great way to end the year,” said John Campbell, CEO of BES Group.

“I am thrilled that Mimic is joining BES Group. Mimic with its expertise in maritime condition monitoring, will complement BES Group’s established Asset Reliability business, it’s an excellent fit, and will allow Mimic to lead the way in maritime condition monitoring for many years to come,” said Paul Mount, MD of Mimic.

“I am incredibly excited about what the future holds for the Strainstall UK team as part of the BES Group. With a shared focus on providing customers with the very best service, Strainstall UK is a good fit with the Asset Reliability business, and I see great opportunities for growth,” said Jonathan Simpson Tarling, MD of Strainsall.

We look forward to sharing more about Strainstall UK, Mimic and our ongoing growth plans over the coming months.

It's important to us that we continue to welcome companies that not only enhance our portfolio of risk management services, but also fit with our people focused culture.  Like the wider British Engineering Services Group, the Notus Heavy Lift Solutions team are the best at what they do and are passionate about delivering the very best service for their customers.  Their team of more than 20 highly skilled people are spread across the UK, helping ensure their customers can safely and effectively deliver large scale and complex projects.

This is the seventh acquisition for the British Engineering Services Group since 2019.  We’re excited to be growing our business in this way and are continually seeing the benefits of doing so, both internally and externally amongst our customers.

Our customers and our people come before everything else across the British Engineering Services Group and that will never change.  Our ongoing activity on the acquisition front ensures we are giving our customers a growing range of services, in line with their needs.  From strengthening our geographical spread to adding new specialist services to our skillset, we couldn’t be happier with our recent acquisitions.

To enhance this even further, we are delighted to share that we have welcomed Boyd Brothers to the British Engineering Services Group.  This is another great move for both our company and theirs and we’re extremely excited to have them onboard.

Boyd Brothers is a family founded and operated business with more than 50 years’ experience in electrical and civil engineering projects.  The team is made up of 40 of the very best people, all experts in their industry, with a Head Office located in Livingston, Scotland.  Not only will this enhance our electrical proposition, including Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging installations, it will make even more specialist services easily available to our customers.

“This is another great addition to the British Engineering Services Group.  We’ve spent lots of time with the Boyd Brothers team over recent months and it’s very clear they share the same values and priorities as the wider Group.  Not only do they always put their customer first, but they’re very focused on making sure nothing is left to chance.  This will further enhance our presence in the electrical safety field, which we started to develop further with the acquisition of Lantei in December 2020,” said Paul Trivett, MD of Electrical and Consultancy at the British Engineering Services Group.

“We’re really happy to have joined the British Engineering Services Group.  This is a fantastic move for both businesses.  Their growth over the last few years is impressive and we’re excited to be a valuable part of their future,” said Stephen Boyd, MB of Boyd Brothers.

This is the sixth acquisition for the British Engineering Services Group since 2019.  Our complete team now stands at more than 850 of the very best people with more joining us all the time.  Growth by acquisition continues to be high on our agenda and we’re looking forward to announcing even more activity on this front throughout the rest of the year.

Helping make sure our customers leave nothing to chance is our priority across the British Engineering Services Group.  We’re delighted to have welcomed a number of new businesses to our company over the last few months, making sure we can always do exactly that as we continue to grow and partner with more and more organisations.  We’re focused on helping keep people safe, businesses legally compliant and machinery and equipment operational and that will never change. 

We’re extremely pleased to share that Proviso Systems, condition-based maintenance (CBM) expert, is the latest company to join the Group.  Adding Proviso Systems to our growing business will really enhance our customer offering in this specialist field, further strengthening the platform we built with the acquisition of PCMS Eng Group at the end of last year. 

“Our customers are really benefiting from an extended suite of services and bringing Proviso onboard will reinforce this even further.  Our acquisitive growth continues to be in line with our customers’ needs and we know maximising machinery efficiency with the very best CBM solutions is something there is an appetite for.  With PCMS Eng Group and Proviso Systems now part of the Group, we can truly provide our customers with an end-to-end risk management service in one place, a first in our industry,” said Gareth Hilton, Chief Commercial Officer. 

Proviso Systems was formed in 1995 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.  Its ongoing focus has been to provide an ‘innovative approach to condition-based maintenance’ and ultimately improve operational efficiency for their customers.  Their innovative approach to technology is impressive and has undoubtedly given them a competitive edge in their field.  They provide an extensive range of services to help keep their customers machinery healthy and operational with  vibration analysis, thermography and oil analysis just some of the more frequently used techniques. 

“We’re really getting it right on the acquisition front.  We’ve welcomed some fantastic businesses to our Group over the last few months alone and bringing Proviso onboard has undoubtedly continued this trend.  The team are absolutely brilliant and know everything there is to know about CBM.  They’re a great addition to the British Engineering Services Group and we look forward to supporting their ongoing success,” said Dave Vaughan, MD of Testing and Consultancy. 

“The future of Proviso Systems is extremely exciting.  This is a great move all round and one that will see our specialist business get the right level of investment and focus as we continue to grow.  We’re all really looking forward to our next chapter,” said Mike Deakin, Director of Proviso Systems. 

This is the fifth acquisition for the British Engineering Services Group since 2019 and the second condition-based maintenance company welcomed in just a matter of months.  Continuing to find businesses that have the same passion and approach to supporting our customers is important to us and we’re delighted to have done that with every one of our acquisitions.  We’re proud of our growing team who help us deliver for our customers every day, with no compromise, ever.
