Hannon Westwood completed the acquisition of Novas Consulting for an undisclosed sum. Following the investment by energy specialist private equity company Energy Ventures in January 2015, Hannon Westwood has been looking to expand on its leading energy business intelligence and consulting offering through a combination of acquisitions and organic development projects.
The addition of Novas Consulting to the Hannon Westwood portfolio is the first step in adding new diversity to the consulting offering, bringing a team of globally experienced geoscientists, engineers and other specialists with a full suite of technical expertise and international credentials to join the market-leading research company.
Ian Norbury, CEO of Hannon Westwood Aberdeen, said: “In Novas Consulting we have found an exceptional team of internationally experienced individuals offering considerable skills in upstream projects, technical due diligence, and both asset and corporate appraisal and valuation services. This acquisition serves as the first step to utilise Hannon Westwood as a platform to build a high-powered energy information and analytics company with a full service consulting proposition. We are delighted to welcome the full Novas team to the business”.
