TWO companies have joined forces after being integrated into their Canadian parent company.
Specialist remediation contractor Celtic and soil treatment facility operator Biogenie, which have their UK base in Arlington Business Park in Theale, are now Englobe, and will work together to provide end-to-end contaminated land, soil treatment, engineering and environmental solutions.
Celtic has more than 30 years of experience of solving a wide range of contaminated land problems, including complex contaminants, constrained site logistics and stakeholder challenges.
More than 1,000 sites in the UK have undergone remediation by Celtic, including gasworks, petrochemical refineries, chemical works, waste lagoons, landfills, petrol stations, manufacturing sites, military sites and engineering works.
The Biogenie arm will continue its services at five treatment facilities across the UK, with a sixth planned.
As Englobe, the company says that it can reduce costs and traffic pollution while increasing sustainability and helps UK industries reach their net zero objectives.
Existing and new clients will see no change in the services provided and the internal management structure will remain the same. All current projects will be led by the same dedicated team of experts and executed to clients’ original contract specifications.
Julia Roberts, managing director for Englobe UK said: “The renaming of Celtic and Biogenie is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Englobe as we continue to build upon our international experience and reputation in the UK after acquiring Celtic in 2008.
“Working under one name will enable Englobe to develop and grow by providing the full suite of engineering and environmental services to some of the UK’s most exciting developments.”
She added: “This is a very exciting time for our highly thought of employees, to grow and learn from our wider group of companies adding to their own continuous personal development and allowing us to give more opportunity and retain the very best talent that our marketplace has to offer.”
Englobe co-president Alain Robichaud added: “Englobe has always prided itself on delivering excellent work for our clients time and time again. We are delighted that Biogenie and Celtic will be continuing to deliver their award-winning projects and services under the Englobe name in the future and build on our already well respected reputation in the UK.”
