RSK Group Ltd, a leading integrated environmental, engineering and technical services business, has announced that it has formally acquired four more businesses - the first acquisitions for RSK in the new financial year.
RSK Group has added RSK Orbital, SkyVision International, The Scan Station and Smith + Kennedy Architects its growing portfolio of businesses.
Based on its current trajectory and strategy, the rapidly expanding group anticipates that by 2025 it will be delivering an annual turnover of £1 billion and will employ 10,000 people around the world. RSK is actively investing in the development of new businesses and bolt-on acquisitions, as well as equipment and facilities, to provide end-to-end solutions to a wide, international client base.
Two of the companies - RSK Orbital and the The Scan Station provide a wide range of aerial surveillance and specialist specialist survey, inspection and mapping surveys to a diverse range of companies within the commercial, industrial and infrastructure sectors, including rail, oil, gas, telecoms and renewable-technology organisations.
RSK Orbital’s major clients include Network Rail, National Grid, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), Jacobs, Shell, BP and Scottish Power.
SkyVision International patrols pipelines from the air and helps ensure the integrity of much of the UK’s pipeline networks.
Now fully integrated into the group, the three businesses will retain their existing leadership, workforce and brands, as they join RSK’s geosciences and engineering division under the direction of George Tuckwell.
Alan Ryder, RSK founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The four new businesses, though very different, each fit perfectly into our growing group, widening our offering so we can deliver the greatest value to our clients. With innovation at their core, RSK Orbital, SkyVision International and The Scan Station will be fantastic assets for RSK. Ireland is an important growth area for RSK, so I am also very pleased to welcome Smith + Kennedy Architects into the group.”
