Delta-Simons announce the completion of a successful acquisition by Lucion Services

Delta-Simons can today announce the completion of a successful acquisition by Lucion Services.  The acquisition will see the combined businesses under the Lucion banner become a leading UK mid-market environmental consultancy incorporating an unrivalled regulatory service team and with global reach through the Inogen Alliance.  Delta-Simons will form the consultancy arm of Lucion and will continue to trade as Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants Ltd.

The enlarged group will have revenues in 2021 of c£50m and over 500 employees, servicing over 1,500 clients across 20 economic sectors including Utilities, Real Estate, Nuclear, Marine, Government, Education, Technology, Planning and Development.  The combined team has a range of specialist skill sets in over 50 environmental consultancy services including hazardous materials, ecology, air and water services, geo-environmental and sustainability among others.

Alex Ferguson will remain as Managing Director of Delta-Simons and joins the Exec board of the Lucion Group.  Alex comments: “Lucion is the perfect home for Delta-Simons at this stage in our evolution. We join a strong and established technical business with complementary clients and services and can benefit significantly from Lucion’s proprietary software and management systems.  Together with Lucion, we will offer an unrivalled, market leading UK operation and will continue to deliver services globally through the Inogen Alliance.”

Philip Rozier, Lucion CEO commented: “I am delighted to welcome the Delta-Simons team into the Lucion Group. We have long admired the quality and service levels provided by Delta-Simons and together we can widen and improve our service offering and share best practices both internally and externally to our existing and potential client groups. Despite the challenges faced during the Covid 19 pandemic, both businesses have performed extremely well and shown their resilience in difficult times. This is a reflection not only of the quality of all our people but also the need for the continuing provision of first class technical, commercial and regulatory environmental advice and services no matter what economic climate prevails.”

Philip Rozier led the management buyout of Lucion in 2019 backed by Palatine Private Equity.

Kieran Lawton, Senior Investment Director of Palatine commented: “We are delighted to have completed this strategically-important transaction and welcome Alex and his entire team to Lucion. With both Lucion and Delta-Simons working to make the world a cleaner and safer place it’s clear both share our deep commitment to the ESG agenda." 

Palatine will continue to support Lucion’s growth and invest further as it looks to build on this latest acquisition.”
