Leven Energy Services is an independent utilities contractor supporting Distribution Network Operators (DNO's), providing a range of engineering and utility services including mains replacement, underground cabling and overhead line management.

James Thoden van Velzen, CEO of SPIE UK said: "This acquisition is the next step forward after the creation of Spie ENS two years ago when we entered into the power line contracting market. Since then we have been involved in some very exciting projects – including the recently reported network renovation with Northern Ireland Electricity.

"We are looking forward to developing our reach further and becoming one of the biggest players in the utility sector."
