Why this matters for ECT customers
ECT customers often make decisions that depend on several forms of technical evidence. Environmental investigations may require ground, ecological or engineering input alongside laboratory analysis. Construction and industrial projects may also require inspection, monitoring, calibration or certification services.
Rather than approaching unrelated suppliers for every requirement, customers can continue working with ECT for specialist chemical and microbiological testing while accessing complementary expertise from other Phenna Group businesses where it adds value.
