BRUSH takes over the Scottish M&E company

Loughborough-based energy engineering solutions company BRUSH Group has acquired Rybka, a Scottish company providing mechanical and electrical construction services and sustainability consultancy.

The acquisition expands the Loughborough-based company’s service portfolio to include mechanical and electrical engineering, BIM (building information modeling), building physics, passive house design and low carbon consultancy.

It also gives BRUSH a foothold in the Scottish market, while enabling Rybka to expand in England and Wales, with support from London-based construction services consultancy Eta Projects Ltd – acquired by BRUSH in 2022 – which has extensive experience in healthcare and infrastructure critical.

Nicolas Pitrat, CEO of BRUSH Group, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Rybka on board as part of BRUSH Group. We already have a lot in common and I see many of our values ​​reflected in the way the Rybka team works together to deliver outstanding results for their clients. I am impressed by their breadth of knowledge and experience, and the fact that Rybka is part of the Group will support our ESG ambitions and create decarbonization opportunities among our customers.”

David MacLeod, CEO of Rybka, said: “We are very excited to be joining the BRUSH Group. Our proven track record as a provider of exceptional consulting services, along with BRUSH’s reputation for delivering engineering excellence, will position us to continue to grow from strength to strength. By partnering with BRUSH, we will expand our geographic footprint and build on our existing expertise while providing exceptional customer service.”

Founded in Scotland in the 1990s, Rybka employs over 50 people in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. Rybka will become part of the BRUSH Engineering Solutions portfolio, operating independently with existing partners and clients.
