Ridge Strengthens Infrastructure Footprint with Adept Acquisition

Ridge and Partners, a leading consultancy in the built environment sector, has acquired Adept Management, enhancing its position in the infrastructure sector. This acquisition brings Adept's expertise in managing complex programmes, particularly in nuclear, transport, and defense projects, aligning with Ridge's capabilities in building. The integration is expected to bolster Ridge's strategic diversification and service offerings, especially in the emergent and high-growth potential sectors. With a turnover exceeding £140 million and multiple offices across the UK, Ridge aims to advance further in the national infrastructure agenda. The acquisition not only expands Ridge's workforce by 50 but also its technical prowess in project delivery, Programme Management Office (PMO) services, and design management. This strategic move aligns with the UK Government’s Planning and Infrastructure Bill, making Ridge a more formidable entity capable of securing significant infrastructure projects. This partnership is hailed as milestone advancement by both parties, promising mutual growth and extended market presence.
