Simtec is delighted to welcome Construction Testing Services (CTS) into our business, following Phenna Group’s acquisition of this highly respected construction materials testing provider. Based in Northern Ireland, CTS has built a strong reputation for technical excellence, trusted customer service, and deep local knowledge across a wide range of projects.

This acquisition marks another important step in Simtec’s growth journey, following the successful opening of new locations in London and East Anglia earlier this year. With CTS now joining the team, we significantly expand our geographic reach and capabilities, creating a stronger platform to serve clients across the UK and Ireland with responsive, high-quality testing services.

Warwick Nuttall, commented: “We’re thrilled to bring Roy, Michael and their talented team into Simtec. Their expertise and established presence in Northern Ireland perfectly complement our recent growth in London and East Anglia. Together, we can provide even broader support to our clients and continue raising the bar for service standards in our sector.”

Roy Browne and Michael Craig, Directors of Construction Testing Services, added: “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built at CTS and are excited to join Simtec for this next chapter. From the outset, it was clear that our values and ambitions were closely aligned. We look forward to combining our strengths and continuing to deliver excellent service to our clients across Ireland and beyond.”

The addition of CTS further reinforces Simtec’s position within Phenna Group’s Infrastructure Division, as we continue to build a geographically diverse and technically robust network of materials testing specialists.
