7 years. Over $1bn in annualised revenue. More than 9,000 employees worldwide.
Phenna Group at seven is going from strength to strength, reflecting the business's scale, quality, and momentum.
Since its inception, Phenna Group has remained committed to building and supporting high-performing businesses through targeted investment and a clear focus on sustainable growth. This continued commitment is demonstrated by ongoing investment in 2025 across the Group's operations, with more than 60% allocated to growth-focused initiatives designed to scale and unlock future value.
Over the past 12 months, this investment has been directed towards enhancing capability, expanding capacity, and supporting long-term growth across our operating companies, including new site openings, software development, and investment in advanced plant and equipment.
Investing in Capability, Capacity and Growth
Across the Group, investment has focused on both advanced technical equipment and operational infrastructure, ensuring companies are well positioned to deliver high-quality, mission-critical services across regulated sectors.
Within the Built Environment division, Building Envelope Technologies (BET) has benefited from significant investment in both new facilities and advanced testing equipment. This includes the development of a state-of-the-art laboratory, expanding capacity and enabling the business to support increasingly complex building performance and compliance requirements.
In the Food and Life Sciences division, Cansford Laboratories has strengthened its analytical capabilities by adding two Waters Xevo TQ-S Absolute XR LC/MS systems. This investment enhances sensitivity, throughput, and efficiency in drug and alcohol testing, supporting continued growth across workplace, legal, and public health sectors.
Strengthening Our Americas Region
In the Americas region, several operating companies have seen targeted investment to support both operational efficiency and service expansion.
ATL has implemented a new ERP system, expanded its fleet, and introduced advanced testing equipment, including rolling densometers for pavement testing, corrosion survey tools, and blower door testing capability.
Briggs Engineering & Testing has similarly invested in a new ERP system and blower door testing equipment, enhancing both operational processes and service delivery.
CEIMIC has continued to expand its laboratory capabilities with state-of-the-art gas and liquid chromatography systems, alongside investment in air quality and environmental testing equipment. This has been complemented by fleet expansion and multiple office buildouts across the region.
Driving Innovation Across Infrastructure
Within the Infrastructure division, investment has focused on innovation, efficiency, and enhanced technical capability across multiple operating companies.
Key developments include the creation of a new in-house SCRIM capability at XAIS-PTS to support advanced highway surface testing, as well as the rollout of a division-wide ERP system to improve operational visibility and coordination.
Investment in laboratory and testing capability continues through organic growth initiatives, including new testing operations at Simtec and CTS. At CTS Water Microbiology, the introduction of MALDI-TOF technology is enabling faster, more automated Legionella testing processes.
Further enhancements include consolidating Celtest operations into a single site at Tre Felin to improve efficiency. Simtec also implemented advanced scheduling software for field operations, and new automated binder and grading wash equipment is improving both efficiency and health and safety outcomes by removing hazardous processes.
In-Situ has also expanded its field-testing capabilities by adding a new CPT rig, strengthening its geotechnical investigation services.
A Scalable Model for Long-Term Growth
These investments form part of a broader, repeatable approach to growth across Phenna Group.
A structured and supportive integration approach enables our companies to benefit from the scale, expertise, and back-office capabilities of the wider Group, while continuing to focus on delivering high-quality services to their customers.
