The Morson Group has completed the strategic acquisition of Grosvenor Power Group (GPG) and Aurora Power Consulting Ltd. The move is designed to significantly increase the Group's capacity within the energy sector, providing the technical expertise and workforce scaling required for the UK's current "once-in-a-generation" transmission and distribution network upgrade.

The two businesses will be integrated into Morson Praxis, the Group's technical consultancy arm. This integration will be supported by Morson Vital, which handles skilled workforce deployment, and Morson Nexus, the Group's dedicated training division. This structure allows Morson to offer an end-to-end service, ranging from high-level power systems analysis to "boots on the ground" installation and maintenance.

Ged Mason OBE, Executive Chairman of Morson Group, commented: "There is an urgent need to increase capacity in the Tier 2 energy infrastructure supply chain as the UK's Tier 1 transmissions suppliers deliver a once-in-a-generation upgrade across the UK's transmission and distribution network. The success of this critical programme demands not just expertise, but skills, scalability and integration across the delivery chain, from engineering and design through to boots on the ground installation."

Grosvenor Power Group is a leading high-voltage (HV) installation firm with 40 years of experience in construction and commissioning. Operating across power, transformers, and oil services, GPG provides maintenance and repair for systems ranging from 33kV to 400kV, including offshore wind connections and converter substations.

Aurora Power Consulting brings specialised independent power systems analysis to the Group. Their expertise in grid code compliance, harmonic analysis, and power quality consultancy will strengthen Morson Praxis's ability to support complex renewable integration projects.

Mark Stephen, Managing Director of GPG, said: "Joining the Morson family enables us to secure long-term growth, invest in the next generation of engineering talent, and strengthen our position in a rapidly evolving market. Our teams are excited to work alongside Morson Praxis, Morson Vital and Morson Nexus to enhance our delivery capacity and develop new capabilities."

A central goal of these acquisitions is the development of a sustainable talent pipeline to meet accelerating demand. Morson Nexus will deliver Ofqual-recognised training and apprenticeships for HV engineers, fitters, and wiremen. The Group plans to utilise GPG's existing facilities to provide hands-on HV rig training and mobile units, ensuring a steady supply of Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP).

Steve Sommerville, Managing Director of Aurora, added: "We're delighted to be joining the Morson Group, which will allow us to deepen the technical quality of what we do, while gaining the scale and support needed to meet growing demand. We remain committed to our clients and team, but now with enhanced capability and long-term stability."

The acquisitions follow a major transformation for Morson Group, which recently consolidated its legacy companies into four distinct units: Morson Edge, Morson Praxis, Morson Vital, and Morson Nexus. This new alignment positions the Group as a key partner for Tier 1 energy providers tackling the challenges of net-zero integration and national energy resilience.
