Amey has acquired an Australia- based consultancy to strengthen its engineering capabilities and expand its presence across the region.
Founded in 2007, North East Survey Design (NESD) operates from offices in Wangaratta and Echuca in Victoria, southeast Australia. The firm provides a range of consultancy services, including civil engineering, landscape architecture and project management.
The acquisition is expected to combine Amey’s global infrastructure experience with NESD’s expertise and knowledge of the region.
Matthew Sammon, founder and general manager at NESD said: “Joining Amey is an exciting step forward for NESD. It builds on the reputation we have developed over nearly two decades and gives our people access to greater resources, broader technical capability and new opportunities to contribute to more complex, innovative projects.
“This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver the client-focused service our partners value, while expanding what we can achieve together.”
Bosses at Amey say the venture marks a significant step in the company’s international expansion, following its return to the Australian market last year through the acquisition of a Brisbane-based consultancy firm Premise.
Andy Milner, chief executive at Amey, said he was “delighted” to welcome NESD into the fold.
He added: “By backing high-performing local consultancies like North East Survey Design, we are establishing a strong and sustainable platform for long-term growth in Australia while maintaining our focus on people, community outcomes and service excellence.”
