"Its specialist services and expertise will enable M Group Services businesses to offer enhanced capabilities to their respective clients. We are delighted to welcome PMP to the M Group Services family."

PMP Managing Director Stephen Taylor added: "Our acquisition by M Group Services signals the next exciting phase of our continuing growth. We are now ideally positioned to benefit from the diverse range of new opportunities that becoming part of a broader infrastructure service provider group will bring and we look forward to working alongside the other M Group Services businesses."
