Phenna Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Ecology Division of Ground Control Ltd. The team will be joining RammSanderson, a Phenna Group company, further enhancing the company's position as a leader in ecological and environmental consultancy. This development builds upon a strong relationship between Ground Control and our Infrastructure Division and reinforces RammSanderson's commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable ecological solutions.
Ground Control has been a trusted provider of grounds maintenance, arboriculture, and environmental services, with its ecology division playing a key role in delivering sustainable, nature-positive solutions. By integrating this team into RammSanderson we are expanding the services and expertise available to clients, helping to further strengthen long-term ecological resilience across the UK.
Stuart Abbs, Divisional MD Infrastructure Division at Phenna Group commented: "We have long enjoyed a successful working relationship with Ground Control, particularly through their provision of drilling services to our geoenvironmental businesses within the Phenna Group Infrastructure Division. Bringing their ecology team into RammSanderson deepens our partnership and expands our collective capability to deliver first-class ecological services to our clients."
Nick Sanderson, Managing Director (East Midlands and South East England) at RammSanderson, added: "We are delighted to welcome a fantastic group of ecologists to our team. Their expertise and experience will further enhance our service offering, allowing us to support a broader client base and extend our geographic reach. This move aligns perfectly with our mission to provide high-quality, pragmatic ecological consultancy."
Jason Knights, Managing Director of Ground Control, also expressed enthusiasm for the transition: "This move represents a natural evolution for our ecology team, not a departure from our ecological services, but a strategic step forward. Ecology remains a core part of our offering, and by our team joining forces with RammSanderson, we’re significantly expanding the depth and breadth of what we can offer to clients as well as ensure our ecology team has the best possible opportunities to grow and develop.”
With this expansion, RammSanderson continues its dedication to providing exceptional ecological services, supporting biodiversity, sustainability, and responsible land management. The company looks forward to further strengthening client relationships and leading environmental stewardship.
