Mainland Europe represents the newest chapter in Phenna Group's international expansion, a region rich in opportunity, talent, and technical excellence. While our presence here is still growing, our ambitions are clear. To build a strong, specialist network of Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) companies that reflect the same high standards, customer focus, and sector expertise seen across the rest of our group.
As we welcome new partners into the Phenna Group family, we are laying the foundation for long-term success across key European markets. Our current companies already offer sector-leading services, and we're actively investing in expanding our capabilities and regional reach.
It's an exciting time for our Mainland Europe region, and we look forward to working with more like-minded businesses as we continue to grow.
