BGEN Ltd and its subsidiaries have been officially acquired by M Group Services.

The firm has a regional office on Carnival Way in Bridgwater.

The acquisition is set to boost M Group Services' technical engineering solutions offering in its core markets, including energy, water, telecom, and transport sectors.

BGEN's strong position in regulated markets, such as power and energy, water, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, aligns with M Group Services' strategy.

The acquisition will also enable M Group Services to venture into new markets served by BGEN.

With a nationwide network of offices and almost 1,500 employees, BGEN provides multidisciplinary services to a range of clients, including National Grid, Thames Water, Scottish Water, and Anglian Water.

Andrew Findlay, M Group Services' chief executive, said: "BGEN is a business with a long trading heritage and an excellent reputation and culture that aligns with our own."

Robin Whitehead, chief executive of BGEN, added: "Joining M Group Services represents the most significant step in our trading history to date and an exciting opportunity for our people, clients, and partners alike."

This acquisition is M Group Services' second of the year and the first since CVC's purchase of M Group Services earlier this year.
