Two years since its formation, Celnor has become a collaborative home for ambitious businesses and colleagues working in Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance. The Group now supports more than 7,000 clients and operates across 60 locations in the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe, and the US.
From the beginning, our approach has been rooted in collaboration. Our 1,700 colleagues work side by side across member companies, sharing expertise and supporting one another to deliver trusted testing, inspection, certification, and compliance services. Together, they generate over £170 million in annual revenues – a reflection of what can be achieved when businesses and people grow collectively.
Celnor’s central enablement team plays a key role in our approach, providing expertise in finance, HR, IT, legal, marketing, and commercial development. With more than 40 growth projects currently underway, the team helps businesses strengthen their foundations, unlock new opportunities, and accelerate progress. This shared support ensures that colleagues can focus on clients, while also developing their own skills and careers.
Reflecting on the milestone, Simon Parrington, Founder and CEO of Celnor, said:
“Our vision has always been to bring people and businesses together in a way that creates more than the sum of its parts. The progress of the past two years reflects the strength of that collaboration. We are proud not only of the scale we have reached, but of the way our colleagues have grown with us, supporting clients, and providing essential assurance to the industries we serve.”
Reflecting on investing in our teams Anushka Bakshi, Chief People Officer, said:
“Developing people has been central to our journey. More than 200 leaders and managers have already taken part in our Leadership and Management Development Programmes, building skills, confidence, and the ability to support their teams effectively. Helping our people to grow is what enables our businesses to grow.”
As Celnor moves into its third year, the focus remains on deepening collaboration, investing in people, and building sustainable growth that delivers for our clients, colleagues, and communities.
