Sheffield-headquartered environmental group Cura Terrae has acquired EnviroCentre, a Scotland-based multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy of over 75 professionals.
The business will become part of Cura Terrae’s Land and Nature division, bringing expertise in geo-environmental services and water management and engineering, as well as enhanced capabilities in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and ecology.
This acquisition marks Cura Terrae’s fifth since its formation in 2022 and is the group’s largest transaction to date.
Nick Dilworth, Cura Terrae CEO, said: “We’re proud to welcome EnviroCentre into the Cura Terrae group. From the outset, it was clear that we shared not only technical goals, but a common purpose. This acquisition brings complementary expertise and geographic reach to the group, while adding a team of people whose values closely align with our own.
“The addition of EnviroCentre to the Cura Terrae group will provide fantastic opportunities for our people to flourish with clients benefiting from a greater depth and breadth of services.”
EnviroCentre will provide a boost to Cura Terrae’s presence in Scotland, bringing the total number of professionals in the Land and Nature business to over 175 across the UK and the broader Cura Terrae group to around 400.
Duar Fleming, MD of EnviroCentre, said: “Joining Cura Terrae is an exciting step for our team. In order to grow the impact of our work we wanted to find a partner who understood our culture, respected our people, and shared our long-term goal to enhance the environment.”
Cura Terrae were advised by Hill Dickinson and Forvis Mazars LLP. Bellweather Green, Robertson Craig, and consultant Kevin Windram advised the shareholders of EnviroCentre.
The transaction was supported by Cura Terrae’s major shareholder Palatine Private Equity through their Impact Fund and funded via committed facilities from existing banking partner Shawbrook bank.
