Cowes-based Strainstall, which has over 56 years of history here on the Island, has been rebranded to BES Group, it has been confirmed.
As previously reported by Island Echo, the business – which designs and manufactures monitoring systems for use at sea and in hazardous areas – was sold back in December for £13.6million.
The rebrand will align the business more closely with the wider BES Group, while also giving customers access to even more of the very best people and the most impressive accreditations, with no compromise.
Reassurances have been given that the Strainstall team will remain in place and have a strong future ahead of them as valuable members of the BES Group team.
Andy Chater, Managing Director of BES Group Asset Reliability, says:
“BES Group Asset Reliability is vital to helping drive the ongoing success and growth of the wider BES Group and both the Strainstall UK and Mimic businesses are key to this division. Rebranding makes perfect sense and really reinforces the importance of both of these teams to our company,”
I think the current staff will be reassured by the statement regarding their future – NOT. Ĥere comes restructuring/redundancy, almost certainly!
