Our UK & Ireland Network
As a Phenna Group company, CTS is part of a UK & Ireland network of specialist testing, inspection, certification and compliance (TICC) businesses.
CTS remains focused on construction materials testing, but many of the projects we support extend beyond one technical discipline. Through Phenna Group, we can connect customers with complementary specialists working across infrastructure, the built environment, laboratories, certification and compliance.
From additional testing and specialist inspections to environmental consultancy, building compliance and certification, the wider network brings together technical experts from multiple industries. This helps customers find the appropriate expertise through a trusted group of specialist companies.
