Mott MacDonald has expanded its international skillbase by purchasing Wideurope Engineering.
Established in 2002, Wideurope operates primarily in the energy sector providing expert technical support and professional services in civil, structural and electro-mechanical design.

By purchasing the business, Mott MacDonald said the deal enhances its offering, services and capability in the energy sector and provides access to new markets.
Mott MacDonald chairman Keith Howells said: "Wideurope Engineering has an outstanding reputation with clients and equipment manufacturers all over the world. We've worked closely together for many years so we understand each other's strengths and where we can draw on each other's expertise to best support our clients. Coming together is the next natural progression in our relationship."
Giorgio Fugazzi, Wideurope Engineering general manager, added: "This is great news for our clients who'll benefit from the strong bond of trust between our companies and direct access to an enormous wealth of talent, insight and information.
"Joining Mott MacDonald also provides great opportunities for our staff who'll be able to collaborate and share their experiences with new colleagues, while developing skills in new sectors and working on a more diverse range of projects."
