Alder and Allan complete seventh utilities aquisition

Devon-headquartered Glanville employs more than 180 staff across five depots throughout the southwest, and is Adler & Allan’s largest acquisition to date – seventh in the utilities sector and tenth overall in the last three years. 

This acquisition follows remediation specialist, MEL Environmental Solutions, joining the Adler & Allan Group in October last year.

Glanville managing director, Jamie Treliving, said: “We are thrilled to be joining the Adler & Allan Group. The extent of Adler & Allan’s service range, combined with our presence in the Southwest is a fantastic opportunity to broaden our customer offer, whilst further strengthening Adler & Allan’s leading position in the wastewater recycling industry.”
