Woodward Group has acquired Lowthers Electrical Engineers Ltd in a strategic move that bolsters the company\u2019s growing customer base and enhances its service offering.<\/h4>\n

The acquisition means Woodward Group, which provides electrical, fire, security, building and compliance services for commercial and industrial businesses nationwide, gains Lowthers\u2019 knowledge, expertise and clientele.\"\"

Also based in the Midlands, Lowthers is recognised as a specialist in hazardous or potentially explosive area installations (ATEX)<\/a> and electrical, control and instrumentation (E, C&I) for the food and beverage and petrochemical industries. The company has built up an extensive blue chip client base since it was founded in 2007 by the company\u2019s Managing Director, Matt Lowther<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the acquisition, Aden Woodward<\/a>, Managing Director of Woodward Group, says: \u201cOur mission at Woodward Group is to offer all of our clients an extensive range of bespoke, high quality services to meet their needs. With the demand for ATEX solutions on the rise, we\u2019re thrilled to be able to add this unique and complementary expertise to our service offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowthers\u2019 Managing Director, Matt Lowther, has partnered with Woodward Group on a number of projects this year, and as part of the acquisition, he joins the company as Group Project Director.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining Woodward Group signifies an exciting new chapter,\u201d Matt says. \u201cWe have enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the Woodward Group team over the last year through partnering with them on a number of specialist ATEX projects, and we are really pleased to be adding our unique expertise to the company\u2019s high quality service offering, and contributing to its growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aden adds: \u201cDespite some of the challenges we faced in navigating the complex and ever-changing lockdown restrictions, the projects we have worked on over the last year with the Lowthers team have all been highly successful, with customers confirming they\u2019d like to take up future ATEX work with us. We are pleased to be welcoming Matt onto the Woodward board of directors as Group Project Director, and look forward to working together on these upcoming projects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
