Ceetech designs, specifies, installs and maintains infrastructure for hospitals and education, leisure, retail, industrial, custodial and military facilities.

Established in 2001, the firm employs a team of about 70 staff and has a variety of multi-million-pound design-and-build projects on its books.

RSK said it aimed to expand its existing M&E provision by leveraging Ceetech’s expertise while combining its with RSK’s existing consulting engineering practice, Silcock Leedham.

Alan Ryder, founder and CEO of RSK, said: “With the addition of Ceetech, RSK companies can now deliver a full M&E design and delivery capability in-house.

“I believe this will create a multitude of new opportunities, particularly as we provide a turnkey M&E service to our clients, all the way from design to delivery.”

Kerry Briggs will continue to head the business as the managing director and will be supported by the existing management team as the business joins RSK’s Geosciences and Engineering division under the direction of Divisional Director George Tuckwell.
