Financial and tax due diligence support to SOCOTEC UK & Ireland on its acquisition of United Kingdom Testing and Certification

16 July 2025

Our Deal Advisory Due Diligence team is delighted to announce its role in providing financial and tax due diligence services to SOCOTEC UK & Ireland in relation to its acquisition of United Kingdom Testing and Certification (UKTC).

UKTC is an independent fire testing laboratory based in East Kilbride, which has established itself as a trusted provider of fire resistance testing, reaction to fire testing, and certification services across multiple building materials and systems.

The acquisition of UKTC marks the latest in a series of strategic investments by SOCOTEC designed to strengthen its building safety and compliance services. This expansion comes in direct response to the evolving regulatory landscape following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the introduction of the Building Safety Act.

Director, Chris Hodge, said: “We really enjoyed working with the SOCOTEC team again on their latest UK acquisition, and would like to thank them for continuing to place their trust in us to provide due diligence services. We wish all involved every success for the future.”
