Adler and Allan, on Station Parade in Harrogate.

Harrogate’s Adler and Allan has completed the acquisition of a Lancashire sewer monitoring company.

The environmental firm has acquired Detectronic, which is based in Colne, which specialises in helping customers prevent flooding and pollution.

The company said the move would help it to position itself strategically in the utilities sector and provide asset maintenance, environmental monitoring, and emergency pollution response.

It comes as Adler and Allan agreed a similar deal with Aqua Consultants in February this year.

Henrik Pedersen, chief executive officer at Adler and Allan, said:

“This is our fourth acquisition in the utilities sector, and sixth overall in the last 18 months. It is a further step in the Group’s ambitious growth plans to support customers with a broader set of environmental challenges including trade effluent, wastewater management and the hugely divisive and the high-profile topic of CSOs.

“With this latest acquisition, we are cementing our position as a strategic partner to the water industry to manage and monitor their assets through the full lifecycle.”

Neil Butler, managing director at Detectronic, said:

“We are delighted to be joining the Adler and Allan Group.

“The services Adler and Allan offer, combined with its established position in the utilities market, allows us to extend our expert monitoring and management solutions to more companies.”

New showhome in Green Hammerton

A housing company has opened a new showhome at a development in Green Hammerton.

Avant Homes is currently building a £21.5 million 80-home development in the village off the A59 called Ambretone Park.

The scheme is set to see a range of three, four and five bedroom homes built.

Now, the company has opened a showhome on the site and at its 154-home development in Easingwold.

Both homes include open-plan living space, kitchen with integrated appliances and boutique bathrooms complete with designer tiling and contemporary sanitaryware.

Dan Hardcastle, Avant Homes North Yorkshire head of sales, said:

“Following the successful launch of our regional operation, we’re pleased to have opened our first showhomes in North Yorkshire for buyers to view.

“Our developments in Green Hammerton and Easingwold are already making great progress and we would encourage potential purchasers to come and experience our new showhomes first hand.”
