Technical services provider Mecsia has completed its acquisition of The Drain Group, a drainage specialist operating across the West Midlands.

The Drain Group will continue to operate as an independent brand, with no change to services, contracts, or primary contacts.

The acquisition brings Mecsia’s employee headcount to over 1,270, and raises the annual turnover to £230 million. The Drain Group’s staff, including directors and managers, will all remain with the business.

Jon Coiley, CEO of Mecsia, said: “We are extremely pleased to welcome The Drain Group and their excellent team of people to Mecsia. We remain committed to expanding our footprint across the UK and to increase self-delivery of specialist services wherever possible. The team in Birmingham has an enviable reputation for quality and speed of response. We are all looking forward to developing this new group drainage service offering in the months ahead.”

Tony Buchanan, Managing Director at TDG, added: “We’re so proud of everything The Drain Group has achieved over the years since Tina and I started the business back in 2008. Joining Mecsia is the next natural step for us — it means we can keep growing, invest more in our people, and give even more back to our customers. The most important thing is nothing changes when it comes to the way we work, our values, or the service we are known for. This is an exciting new chapter built on trust, respect, and a shared ambition for the future”
