As an established leader in the testing and development of control equipment for use in the aerospace and industrial sectors, OES offers tailor-made flexible service contracts covering design, sourcing, purchasing, supply, calibration, and delivery of test and other equipment. In addition, the company provides high-quality hardware and software engineering solutions to some of the biggest names in safety-critical industries.


Keith Matthews, President of Belcan International, said OES has "grown significantly" under parent company Passionate About People and now has the opportunity to expand its engineering services as part of Belcan.

"I welcome the OES team to Belcan International and am excited to work with them in building their expertise to establish a market-leading reputation across international sectors," he said.

Alan Beresford, co-founder of Passionate About People, said: "We are delighted to have helped OES grow and now is the right time for the business to be associated with Belcan, and the tremendous opportunity that brings for all stakeholders.

"This transaction allows PAP to focus on its path of market-leading growth and service innovation within the resource solutions and recruitment process outsourcing sectors."
