Celnor has partnered with Arbtech, a leading ecology consultancy

Arbtech, a leading ecology consultancy delivering arboricultural and ecological surveys, has been acquired by Celnor, an Inflexion Private Equity-backed group of complementary businesses offering TICC services to commercial clients.

Founded in 2005, Arbtech’s team of over 100 arboriculturists and ecologists provide a rapid practical solution to tree surveys, biodiversity surveys, bat surveys and more. By offering nationwide coverage and investing in the latest technology, Arbtech delivers incredibly fast and accurate results so that their clients can save time and money by avoiding unnecessary delays on site.

Arbtech’s unique approach of an office and home-based model, with a flexible schedule, allows excellent coverage across the UK, as well as for their colleagues to develop valuable relationships with their clients and local planning authorities.

PMSI provided VCDD to support the transaction, covering a range of key investment themes including: a detailed analysis of the GB planning application system; the expected impact of new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) regulations on ecology survey demand; and an assessment of Arbtech’s competitive positioning and growth strategy.
