Partnering with Phenna Group is a natural next step in that journey. We share a clear vision for growth, quality and innovation, and Phenna's experience in supporting entrepreneurial businesses gives us the platform to accelerate our development while preserving our culture and client-focused approach."
Phil Marshall, CEO of Phenna Group, added: "Grupo Ingertec is a highly respected business with deep technical expertise in management systems, cybersecurity and ISO certification — areas seeing strong and sustained demand as regulation, digital transformation and ESG requirements continue to intensify.
