Construction consultant Ridge has acquired civil and structural engineering consultancy Jubb, for an undisclosed sum.
Ridge said the acquisition is part of an ongoing strategy to expand its service offering and geographical reach, strengthening its position in key built environment sectors.
Ridge has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, in part due to its multidisciplinary approach and diversification across various sectors and disciplines.
With a turnover of more than £140 million, the company has grown by more than 50 per cent since 2022.
Additional services by Ridge include MEP, architecture, project management, cost management, building surveying, and sustainability.
Jubb is a civil and structural engineering design consultancy providing services to the public and private sectors.
With 100 employees across offices in Bristol, Winchester, Plymouth, and Cardiff, its core services include:
- civil engineering
- structural engineering
- ground engineering
- transport & environmental planning
Ridge said Jubb’s locations in the South West and Wales will extend its geographical footprint, providing greater regional coverage and access to new markets and key growth sectors such as data centres, defence, and infrastructure.
“Our interest in Jubb is driven by the excellent work its team delivers for its clients daily,” said Adrian O’Hickey, senior partner at Ridge.
“As well as being established in three of our target growth sectors, its team of talented professionals are known for their technical excellence and client-focused approach.
“It is also worth noting that as our two businesses become one, our values and visions are well aligned.”
Jubb managing director, Rob Harrhy, added: “We have enjoyed getting to know the Ridge team and are confident that their multi-disciplinary approach will greatly enhance our own development and the value we provide to our clients.
“We’re delighted to play a part in the expansion of Ridge into the South West and Wales, and we look forward to consolidating their presence in key markets like data centres and infrastructure.”
