Vinci Energies UK has acquired MESL Group for a seven figure sum. MESL will continue to operate from its Maidenhead hq, in line with Vinci’s decentralised business unit structure.

Peter Rooney, md of Vinci Energies UK, said: “This is a significant deal for both Vinci Energies and MESL. It is an important step forward in our strategy for growth, as it increases our presence in London and the South East, as well as broadening the range of services we provide.

“Both Vinci Energies and MESL share similar values, having a passion for employee development and training, a strong customer service ethic, a directly employed workforce and a track record of investing for the future. Clearly there is a natural fit, a true case of the whole being more than the sum of the parts.”
