HI Group, a Nottinghamshire-based specialist in net zero strategy, design and programme management, has been acquired by energy and compliance services provider Sureserve Group. Following the acquisition, HI Group says it will seek to scale its delivery model and enhance its data services.
For Sureserve, a major energy and compliance services provider, the acquisition aims to solidify its position as a partner to the UK renewables sector.
HI Group operates as a managed service provider and serves as a lead consultant to businesses and other organisations embarking on net zero drives, supporting them as they transition towards being low-carbon operations.
The firm has built a strong presence across an array of property portfolios in the commercial estate sector, working with both public and private organisations, and has a focused expertise in the further education.
The company has seen significant growth over recent years. In 2020, the total volume of emissions that it supported organisations in managing stood at 3,800, a figure that had increased to more than 120,000 in 2024.
HI Group co-director Russell Barton said that company was joining Sureserve “at a time when the demand for structured, evidence-based net zero strategies is accelerating.”
He added: "From the outset, it was clear that Sureserve shared our values and our long-term commitment to enabling decarbonisation in the real economy."
Fellow co-director Laura Bishop commented: "This partnership gives us the opportunity to scale our delivery model, enhance our data services and continue supporting clients to plan and implement meaningful, measurable net zero programmes. We look forward to building the next phase of our journey together."
Graham Levinsohn, group chief executive at Sureserve, said: "The acquisition of HI Group aligns with Sureserve's mission - to be the trusted partner of choice to the public sector in delivering essential and affordable heating, energy savings and compliance solutions as we continue to play a key and progressive role in decarbonisation."
