About Aspin Group

Aspin Group operates as a specialized engineering solutions provider for the United Kingdom's infrastructure sectors, with a primary focus on the rail and highways markets. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hemel Hempstead, the company has established itself as a key player in the design and construction of piled foundations, particularly for rail infrastructure like overhead line equipment and signalling structures. One of the co-founders is Barry McMahon.

The company's business model revolves around delivering an end-to-end service portfolio that encompasses consultancy, design, ground investigation, project management, and construction. This integrated approach allows Aspin Group to offer tailored solutions, from initial advisory and compliance to final delivery. Revenue is generated by providing these specialized engineering products and services to a client base that includes major infrastructure contractors and public bodies such as Network Rail and Highways England. The firm operates through four main service areas: Engineered Solutions for packaged projects, Consulting and Design, Foundations and Piling, and Inspections and Investigations.

Aspin Group's history includes strategic growth through both organic expansion and acquisitions. The company acquired sheet piling specialist McGrattan in 2013 and followed this with the purchase of Rogers Structural Investigations in 2014, which added on-site infrastructure inspection and testing capabilities to its portfolio. This expansion was supported by a significant £25 million investment from private equity firm LDC in 2015. In 2018, the company was acquired by Sandton Capital Partners, a special situations investment fund, a move intended to strengthen the business and support its ambitious growth plans. At that time, Russell Ward continued as Chief Executive Officer.
