Established in 2013, Seed Environmental is widely recognized as one of the UK’s leading environmental consultancies, offering a broad range of intelligent environmental, property incident response, remediation and restoration services to clients spanning various industries across the public and private sectors. With seven strategic locations in the UK and Ireland, Seed is a leader in environmental claims management (ECM). It also offers 24/7 emergency spill and incident response and management delivered through a highly skilled team of OFTEC engineers, site investigation, verification and monitoring, remediation, restoration and decontamination services, fire and flood response, subsidence management and general environmental consulting and contracting.

Celnor is a private equity-backed group of complementary businesses offering a broad range of testing, inspection, certification and compliance (TICC) services to commercial clients across the UK. Backed by Inflexion, Celnor are pursuing a targeted buy-and-build strategy within the TICC sector, aiming to acquire like-minded businesses that fit their vision and values and are able to work together to provide end customers with the critical data and services they need for sustainable, safe and compliant activities.

Oaklins Evelyn Partners, based in the UK, acted as the lead advisor to Seed Environmental’s shareholders on the sale of the business to Celnor. After winning a competitive pitch process, Oaklins’ team in Cambridge advised on all aspects of the transaction.
