AgilitySurvey acquires Bierce Technical Services

Leading property surveyor AgilitySurvey, sister company of AgilityEco, is pleased to announce that it has recently acquired Bierce Technical Services (Bierce), offering clients access to an even broader range of technical surveying solutions.

Bierce provides a comprehensive range of survey, inspection, testing and certification services for energy efficiency, heating and other property services to both the domestic and commercial property sectors. Recognised for its professional and independent advice within the technical inspection services sector, Bierce operates at the highest levels of best practice, health and safety and quality control.

AgilitySurvey and Bierce share many similarities and values. Both companies manage a network of highly-skilled building surveyors across the country, and both service very similar clients in a range of sectors. This new alliance will combine resources and skills to offer existing and new clients a broader service, further enhanced and streamlined by merging processes, and drawing on greater strength and experience. Bierce will remain in operation as Bierce Technical Services, and continue to offer impartial, expert advice to its clients.

Nicholas Ainger, Managing Director, AgilitySurvey, said:
“I’m delighted to welcome Bierce to the AgilitySurvey family. Bierce’s management team has done a fantastic job of building a solid, highly-accredited company, providing valued technical expertise to countless projects. We’re pleased to be able to combine our strengths to meet the increasingly technical demands of the renewable energy, insulation, heating, electrical, fire and water risk sectors. Through AgilitySurvey’s network of clients and contacts in the Public Sector, Energy Companies and supply chain, we are well-placed to support Bierce’s growth and by bringing the two businesses together we can offer our current and future clients greater choice, flexibility and an overall better service.”

Stephen Birch, Managing Director, Bierce Technical Services, said:
“Bierce is joining forces with AgilitySurvey to provide existing and future clients with unparalleled access to an extensive network of highly qualified and experienced technical surveyors. The Bierce team is looking forward to applying its considerable surveying, testing, inspection and certification skills to an increasing number of new projects in the near future.”
