Amsterdam (Netherlands) / Stafford (United Kingdom), 5 November 2026 – Hanab, a Triton Fund 6 portfolio company and a leading Dutch specialist in energy, technology and connectivity is taking the next step in its UK growth strategy with the acquisition of SES (Substation Engineering Services). Following the earlier acquisitions of Green Frog Connect and AMS Trenchless, SES further strengthens Hanab’s position in the UK energy infrastructure market and supports the continued development of an integrated platform for the development, delivery and maintenance of critical energy infrastructure.
SES adds specialist substation expertise to Hanab’s UK operations. By combining the knowledge and experience of SES, Green Frog Connect and Hanab Energy Solutions, Hanab will be able to support clients across an increasingly broad part of the value chain, from engineering and project management through to installation, commissioning and maintenance. Together, the businesses create a strong platform to support the significant investment required in the coming years to expand, reinforce and decarbonise the UK electricity network, at both distribution and transmission level. The company SES is based in Stafford near Birmingham, an area that is developing into one of the main hubs of the energy transition in the UK.
The acquisition of SES forms part of Hanab’s broader international growth strategy. Alongside its strong position in the Netherlands and activities in Belgium and Germany, the UK is increasingly developing into a strategic growth market for the Group. Hanab intends to further expand its position in the UK in the coming years, through both organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The focus will be on businesses and specialist capabilities that align with the significant investment required in energy, water and other critical infrastructure.
SES will continue to operate under its existing name and retain a high degree of autonomy. The current management team will remain responsible for the day-to-day running of the business. This will preserve SES’s entrepreneurial culture, specialist expertise and strong relationships with clients and partners, while enabling the company to benefit from Hanab’s scale, expertise and investment capacity.
With the acquisition of SES, Hanab is taking another important step towards its ambition of becoming a leading European player in critical infrastructure and further establishing a strong, long-term position in the UK.
