MABBETT & Associates, the Glasgow-based EHSQ (environmental health safety and quality) consultant, has bolstered its business with the acquisition of Scottish counterpart JIG.
The deal boosts the consultant’s growth ambitions by adding to its expertise, resource base and service range. Managing director Derek McNab said JIG will be subsumed into Mabbett’s processing engineering division and add £250,000 of sales to its turnover.
JIG managing director Ian Corner has joined Mabbett under the deal, although his three JIG colleagues have decided to pursue other interests. Mabbett now has 37 staff.
Mabbett advises firms on EHSQ compliance and environmental sustainability, with clients in sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing and Scotch whisky distilling. Mr McNab cited work in hydrology, ecology and environmental planning as growth areas.
He said: “JIG has a strong profile and long-established reputation for delivering intuitive and original solutions to support industrial facilities, developers and private individuals. Mr Corner is a highly respected and experienced environmental practitioner.”
Mr Corner noted that he is “delighted JIG shall merge with Mabbett to offer our combined client base a wider and more diverse service offering.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
