An Inverness-based energy and environmental consultancy has been taken over by a new owner in a five figure deal.
Nevis Environmental has been purchased from Wind Prospect Group by private investor Lee Quinn – who has worked with both Nevis Environmental and Wind Prospect over a number of years as a consultant.
He said: “Wind Prospect is facing some financial difficulty, but there is still huge potential for Nevis Environmental, which is why I took the decision to invest.
“Nevis has a bright future and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to support and develop it going forward. We have a great team, a fantastic offering and exciting growth plans for the future.
“In particular, I am looking forward to developing new relationships both within the renewable industry and outside this sector as we demonstrate how Nevis’ excellent track record and depth of experience supports our clients’ interests.”
Nevis Environmental Limited – which also operates from a base in Carlisle – specialises in the legal requirements and industry standards when undertaking work subject to environmental planning conditions.
Dr Kathryn Fraser, managing director of the company, said: “We are delighted to have Lee as the new owner of Nevis Environmental. His investment in the company will help it grow and realise its potential and ensure that it has a strong and prosperous future. “
