RSK Announces Sixth Acquisition In 2019
National environmental, engineering and technical services consultancy, RSK has continued its successful business year with another major acquisition.
The company has acquired Ecologia Environmental Solutions Ltd, marking its sixth acquisition this financial term.
Ecologia is a company of 45 people that provides innovative solutions for the investigation, assessment and remediation of contaminated land. Founded in 2000, the company provides services in the area of contaminated land consultancy, site investigation and remediation, and specialised support for environmental claims. It provides solutions to a wide range of customers including the public sector, property development and construction companies, the chemical and petrochemical industry, and insurance companies and loss adjustors.
Ecologia has previously supported RSK on a range of projects, most recently in Africa and the Dominican Republic. Joining forces will enable RSK to strengthen its internal site remediation resources and equipment, grow its remediation capability and expand into new markets. With a base in Italy and extensive international experience, Ecologia also strengthens RSK's international expansion across Europe.
"RSK has already developed a good working relationship with Ecologia," said RSK Chief Executive Officer and founder Alan Ryder. "It is a fantastic company that will complement RSK's existing businesses, such as RemedX. Ecologia's spill response work and experience in the insurance market will also complement RSK Response and RSK Raw. I am delighted to welcome Ecologia to the group and look forward to exploring new opportunities for us all."
Ecologia will join RSK's contracting division under the direction of RSK Divisional Director Claire Knighton. It will continue to be led by current Managing Director Giacomo Maini.
Giacomo Maini added: "Ecologia has an established and growing reputation in the contaminated land industry. We are looking forward to taking the next step with the support of RSK's vast internal network and central resources. Joining forces will enable us to develop our core activities, expand our services and provide new opportunities for our employees."
