Exponent

We’re delighted to announce the acquisition of Hanley Pepper Consulting Engineers, an Ireland-based team of civil and structural engineers with 39 years of experience supporting the delivery of data centres and critical infrastructure. Hanley Pepper’s expertise complements and strengthens our existing offering very well. Civil and structural engineering is fundamental to data centre delivery, from the structural integrity of buildings, to the increasingly complex underground infrastructure required to accommodate extensive arrangement of services critical to data centre operations. Bringing Hanley Pepper into the Ethos group allows us to deliver civil and structural engineering services as part of one unified offering, giving clients maximum convenience and simplicity while maintaining the service excellence, commitment and expertise our teams demonstrate every day. We have many clients in common with Hanley Pepper and have worked alongside them on projects across 11 different jurisdictions. Therefore, we know first-hand that they have the right team, culture and values for our business. From day one, they will bring their skills to bear for clients all over EMEA. This acquisition is the fourth we have made as part of our strategy to broaden and enhance our offering at Ethos. With the strong support of Exponent, we now employ over 400 people and operate in 21 countries across EMEA. We are very grateful to our people, our industry colleagues, partners and our valued clients for their ongoing support and look forward to welcoming our new Hanley Pepper colleagues to Ethos!

We’re delighted to announce another important milestone for our business with the acquisition of MEPCO, a Lithuania-based team of engineers and energy consultants at the cutting edge of digitally enabled design. This acquisition grows Ethos’s headcount by 40 (to 340) and boosts our capacity further in a market where demand for sustainable data centre design services remains exceptionally high. Mepco has offices in Vilnius and Kaunas in Lithuania, further expanding Ethos’s physical presence in EMEA. Ethos client partner James Gillic said: “Mepco will fit seamlessly into our business, and from day one, they will bring their skills to bear for clients all over EMEA. Their team has collaborated with us on over 30 data centre projects in recent years, so we know first-hand that they have the right team, culture and values to support us in our efforts to continuously enhance our client offering.” Ethos chief executive Greg Hayden (MBA, Chartered Engineer) said: “This is the third strategic acquisition we have made since commencing our partnership with Exponent in March 2024, illustrating the strong progress, momentum and investment that the partnership has delivered for our business. Our headcount and service offering have grown substantially in this period, including via the acquisition of SimStudio International Consultants in the Netherlands and 3DEC in the UK. We’re looking forward to working even more closely with the talented Mepco team led by Mindaugas Simkus”. Welcome Mepco!

We’re delighted to announce that we have acquired 3DEC, a UK-based technology design consultancy, providing world-class service to data centres, commercial workplaces and educational environments. 3DEC specialises in ICT, Audiovisual, BIM-led design, and Project Management services. We've built an excellent offering in this area already, and 3DEC’s expertise will help complement and build on that. ICT design services are mission-critical within data-centre environments, as end-user demand for performance, resilience, and scalability continues to increase. This means that specialist external providers like Ethos can add significant value through their expertise and capability. We know the team at 3DEC well and have already worked with them on many projects. Throughout this time, it’s been very clear that they share a similar culture to ours, focused on excellence and innovation for their clients. Bringing 3DEC’s expertise in-house will help us deliver projects more quickly for clients than if we remained separate businesses. Adding their team of more than 40 highly skilled engineers also highlights our long-term commitment to the UK market and our continued investment in local capability. This is another major strategic milestone for our business, following the investment we received from Exponent in 2024. Over this period, we have significantly grown revenue, expanded our team to 259 employees, acquired SIMSTUDIO International Consultants, and moved into our purpose-built new HQ. We are very grateful to our people and our valued customers for their ongoing support of our business, and look forward to welcoming our new 3DEC colleagues to the Ethos team.
