Byzak join the Enterprise Group
Enterprise, the infrastructure maintenance support services company, announces that it has acquired the multi-disciplinary contractor Byzak Limited.
Byzak’s operations are complementary to Enterprise’s existing services to the UK water industry.
Following the purchase of Byzak Limited at the end of October the integration of the company into the Enterprise Group organisation is now under way. Byzak Limited becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Managed Holdings Limited but retains a separate identity as trading company under the direction of Dave Kirton and Tony Cookson whilst sharing some head office and administrative functions with the new parent company.
Byzak will continue to develop its core strengths within the UK Water sector as part of the Major Projects Division of Enterprise. As well as sharing United Utilities as a client the new Division will serve a client base of Scottish Water, Northumbrian Water, Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent Water and Veolia.
Byzak will also benefit from access to the UK Gas and Power sectors, and being able to call upon the considerable resources and buying power of an organisation with an annual turnover exceeding £1billion.
Alan Peterson, Chairman of Enterprise commented “Byzak has a strong reputation in its marketplace and is an excellent strategic fit with our existing water capabilities. It significantly broadens our service offering and client base and will allow us to provide a comprehensive, least-cost solution for existing and new customers. The acquisition represents an exciting new phase in supporting the continuing growth of our utilities business.”

GREEN FINGERS FOR YORKSHIRE
ByzakEntecs “Time In the Community” Scheme (TIC) offers project support for communities in Yorkshire where our work is taking place. BZE were delighted to take part in their first Event in Yorkshire at the North Stainley Community Garden.
Colleagues from BZE and Yorkshire Water took part in the day which was a huge success and enjoyed by all the team. The North Stainley Sport & Recreation Trust who are overseeing the works on the Community Garden, were extremely grateful and offered a return visit in September when the second stage of planting will commence. Gardening gloves ready everyone!!
ALSO IN YORKSHIRE..…..
BZE were pleased to help a local lad who had suffered some bad luck. Di Lambert, based at the Nieley site, noticed an article in the local paper about a young boy, suffering from Asperger’s syndrome who liked to try and repair washing machines and other white goods. Unfortunately thieves broke into his garden where the machines were stored and stole most of his collection.
As the site office were replacing their broken dishwasher, contact with the family was made and we offered to donate the old dishwasher to the boys somewhat depleted collection. The family were delighted and Jim Robb, BZE Site Manager delivered the machine along with some new tools to help him with his work.
