We’re delighted to announce that Directors, Sam Hesling and Kyle McGowan, have completed a management buyback of McGowan Environmental Engineering. Having been acquired by BRUSH Group in November 2024 as part of a deal including then sister companies - McGowan Infrastructure and Eco Cable Protect UK - we have completed a deal to purchase the business.

Sam and Kyle comment:

“We are grateful both for the opportunities BRUSH have provided us and the business over the past 18 months, and for their support in facilitating this deal. We now look forward to leading our team of dedicated and skilled people and using our skills and experience to continue to serve the environmental sector throughout Scotland and further afield.”

The business will continue to trade as McGowan Environmental Engineering with all 24 staff transitioning to the new company.

It’s been a whole year since we became part of BRUSH Group and what a year it has been! 🎉 Along with getting to know the Group better we’ve been working hard on our ambitious growth plans - already achieving some notable milestones…

🤝 McGowan Group was named a contract partner to deliver part of Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution’s £450m system upgrade across Aberdeenshire and Caithness.
🥇 McGowan Infrastructure scooped a major SSEN Distribution sustainability award for the UK’s first low carbon, high-voltage cable protection and installation technology - Eco Cable Protect UK.
🙌 McGowan Environmental delivered its largest annual programme of vital peatland restoration work to date.

Speaking on the one-year anniversary, BRUSH Group CEO, Nicolas Pitrat, said:

“It has been wonderful to see the achievements of the McGowan business over this last year and to see the strong synergies between them and the other BRUSH Group companies as they work together to deliver for our clients. McGowan’s impressive environmental credentials and cutting-edge low carbon cable protection technology have added a new dimension to our engineering capabilities, and they play a huge part in helping us to deliver turnkey solutions that support the UK’s energy transition.”

Here’s to another year of growth, knowledge sharing and delivering exceptional results for our clients! 🤝
