Dron & Dickson Group Acquires North-East Cable Solutions Worldwide Limited
Aberdeen-based Dron & Dickson, specialists in integrated supply, installation, and maintenance of harsh and hazardous area electrical equipment, has acquired Inverurie firm Cable Solutions Worldwide Limited in a significant seven figure deal.
The acquisition will enable Dron & Dickson to offer an enhanced range of products and services under one group, grow in existing markets, and accelerate emergent markets, such as renewables to deliver harsh and hazardous area electrical engineered solutions.
A market-leading specialist in cabling supplies, Cable Solutions Worldwide Limited is a principal distributor for several globally recognised suppliers and manufacturers. As part of Dron & Dickson and its five branches in the UK, the group will add value to existing clients within the market with a broader range of equipment supply.
Cable Solutions Worldwide Limited will continue to operate from its 12,500 sq ft warehouse and yard in Inverurie and under its existing trading name. The deal reinforces and expands the breadth of offering and capability that Dron & Dickson delivers in the UK and its key strategic locations – Aberdeen, Stirling, Runcorn, Hull & Lowestoft.
Colin Rowley, Managing Director, Dron & Dickson, said: “We are delighted to announce this key acquisition which will significantly strengthen the offering of our supply and service portfolio. As a team, we identified the opportunity to combine the expertise of the two
