APEM strengthens offering with acquisition of Woodrow

Woodrow joining the APEM Group is the first acquisition for the consultancy following a management buyout in 2019. APEM achieved unprecedented growth last year, aided by the support of private equity firm WestBridge and has further ambitions of expansion into global territories and an increase of niche service offerings.

Formed in 2004, Woodrow delivers services across ecology, energy, sustainable construction, environmental education, training, policy and legislation advice. Headed up by Will Woodrow and Sharon Eastwood, Woodrow’s reputation in Ireland and quality of service was a driving force behind the two organisations coming together.

APEM CEO, Dr Adrian Williams commented: “This is the start of an exciting journey for all of us. We are thrilled to welcome such a well-respected and established business to the fold. Woodrow’s dedication to quality, best practice and technical expertise are a natural fit for APEM. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Will and Sharon over the last few months and I look forward to us becoming stronger together, delivering an unrivalled range of services to existing and new clients alike.”

Will Woodrow said: “As a growing environmental consultancy, formed and established in the north-west of Ireland, we are delighted to have found a natural home in the APEM Group that will enable us to continue to grow and provide the highest quality of service to our clients. The culture at APEM was a critical reason for us choosing to join the Group, and we are very excited about the opportunities that it will bring for our clients and our staff in the future.”
