Leading specialist remediation contractor Celtic and soil treatment facility operator Biogenie have relaunched after full integration with their Canadian parent company, Englobe. The two UK-based firms will be known as Englobe, combining their UK leading end-to-end contaminated land, soil treatment, engineering and environmental solutions under the new name.

Headquartered near Reading, Celtic is one of the longest standing and most experienced specialist remediation contractors in the UK. It has over 30 years of direct experience of solving a wide range of contaminated land problems, including complex contaminants, constrained site logistics and stakeholder challenges. Over 1,000 sites in the UK have undergone remediation by Celtic, including gasworks, petrochemical refineries, chemical works, waste lagoons, landfills, petrol stations, manufacturing sites, military sites and engineering works.

Biogenie will continue to provide high quality specialist off-site treatment of contaminated soils and materials at its five treatment facilities across the UK. This network of regional sites reduces costs, traffic pollution, increases sustainability and helps UK industries with net zero objectives. Later this year, new treatment facilities will be added to the network, and Englobe’s proven expertise in soil treatment will bring additional technologies which will expand its recycling capabilities.

Both Celtic and Biogenie will harness the expertise and innovation of Englobe internationally in addition to the continued delivery of excellent service to projects across the UK and Ireland. This international knowledge across the Englobe family will enable the growth and potential of the existing members of staff and increase their career prospects.

Existing and new clients will see no change in the services provided and the internal management structure will remain the same. All current projects will be led by the same dedicated team of experts and executed to clients’ original contract specifications.

Julia Roberts, Managing Director for Englobe UK said of the announcement: “The renaming of Celtic and Biogenie is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Englobe as we continue to build upon our international experience and reputation in the UK after acquiring Celtic in 2008. Working under one name will enable Englobe to develop and grow by providing the full suite of engineering and environmental services to some of the UK’s most exciting developments. This is a very exciting time for our highly thought of employees, to grow and learn from our wider group of companies adding to their own continuous personal development and allowing us to give more opportunity and retain the very best talent that our marketplace has to offer”.

Englobe Co-President Alain Robichaud added: “Englobe has always prided itself on delivering excellent work for our clients time and time again. We are delighted that Biogenie and Celtic will be continuing to deliver their award-winning projects and services under the Englobe name in the future and build on our already well-respected reputation in the UK.”
