“accelerating growth through
international customers, shared expertise and complementary services”
A conversation between entrepreneurs who believed there had to be a better way to build an international industrial inspection, testing and calibration group. Not simply bigger. Better.
Too often, acquisitions are driven by a single objective — maximising financial returns as quickly as possible. That may satisfy investors, but it rarely strengthens the long-term future of the companies involved, and it does not always serve their customers or their employees.
So we set out to build something else: a group where entrepreneurship stays alive, where local companies keep their identity and their strengths, and where collaboration creates more value than centralisation.
Every company that joins Intexis does so for its own reasons.
These three hold for all of them.
Accelerating growth through international customers, shared expertise and complementary services so a company that has reached the edge of its own market can keep going.
Succession is about legacy, culture and employees, not only valuation. Owners looking for the right home for the next generation will find one here.
Employees keep feeling at home while gaining careers they could not have had before — more learning, more collaboration, more opportunity across borders.
Customers want a partner who understands their operations, reduces complexity and helps them manage compliance, quality and asset integrity across disciplines. Not dozens of suppliers — one that takes work off their hands.
Independent technical expertise, statutory and in-service inspection, risk-based inspection programmes.
Non-destructive testing, quality and compliance testing, materials and weld verification.
Corrosion management, fitness-for-service, asset life extension and pressure equipment integrity.
UKAS-accredited calibration across torque, pressure, dimensional, electrical, force, temperature and humidity.
A group of entrepreneurs in the Manchester region agree there is a better way to build an industrial services group.
Four decades of UKAS-accredited calibration expertise, serving some of the biggest names in UK transport.
Inspection and engineering capability that broadens what the group can take off a customer's hands.
Expansion into the Benelux and the Nordics, with the same test each time: the right home, not the highest bidder.

Each company keeps its identity, its team and its customer relationships.
What changes is what it can offer.

“Our success comes down to three things: strong capabilities, the agility to meet changing demands, and actually listening to our customers.”
“We joined a group that talked about our people and our customers before it talked about numbers.”
Our company has been part of this industry for more than thirty-five years. My father founded it, and I was proud to build on that. When we started thinking about the future, finding the right home mattered more than finding the highest bidder. We have kept our identity, gained an international network, and created a stronger future for our people.
