The acquisitions strengthen the group’s capabilities in drainage, construction, environmental services and fuel infrastructure, enabling LCM to offer clients a broader range of specialist services through a single organisation.
LCM Environmental Group supports operators of critical and regulated sites, providing services including fuel infrastructure installation and maintenance, tank management, drainage, environmental controls, construction works, testing and compliance support. According to the company, the acquisitions form part of a wider growth strategy aimed at increasing technical expertise, regional coverage and operational capability across the site infrastructure lifecycle.
Octane Holding Group Ltd and Octane Draincare Ltd add further expertise in drainage and environmental services, while bringing established customer relationships and operational experience into the group.
Environmental Construction Services Ltd strengthens LCM’s construction capability. The two businesses have worked together for many years and the acquisition formalises that relationship, creating a more integrated construction offering for clients.
Petro Systems Management Ltd expands LCM’s presence in Ireland, adding local fuel infrastructure expertise and supporting the group’s ability to serve customers across the region.
New strengths and a common focus
Commenting on the acquisitions, Richard Wallace, CEO of LCM Environmental Group, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Octane, ECS and Petro Systems into the LCM Environmental Group.
“Each business brings its own strengths, but they share a common focus on strong customer relationships, experienced teams and high-quality service delivery. These acquisitions increase our capability across drainage, construction, environmental services and specialist infrastructure support. They also allow us to build on relationships that are already well established.
“Our focus now is on supporting the teams, maintaining the qualities that have made each business successful and creating new opportunities for both our people and our clients.”
Octane founders Richard Sykes and Jason Unsworth said: “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built with Octane and the team behind it. LCM is the right partner to take the business forward, and we’re confident the business will continue to grow and succeed under its ownership.”
Liam Foster, Managing Director of ECS, added: “This marks an exciting new chapter for ECS. I am confident that together we will continue to strengthen our capabilities and deliver excellent results for our clients and partners.”
Donal O’Leary, Managing Director of Petro Systems, said: “We’re proud to see Petro Systems become part of LCM Environmental. It’s exciting to join a company with a strong reputation, shared values and a commitment to excellence. We look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
The acquisitions support LCM Environmental Group’s continued growth across the UK and Ireland and strengthen its ability to provide integrated infrastructure, environmental and compliance services to operators of complex and regulated sites.
