Howells picks up Ceto

Wales-based emergency response and training company DV Howells – a subsidiary of Milford Haven Port Authority – has expanded its UK presence with the acquisition of a specialist business with bases in Falmouth and Huddersfield.

At the same time, it should improve supervision of ports and coordinate their development, whilst allowing private sector companies to manage terminal facilities “in accordance with market principles in a transparent and unbiased manner”.

The purchase of Aberdeen-based Ceto Environmental Limited, which went into receivership in January, brings DV Howells extra capacity and expertise in its core markets of oil and chemical emergency incident response services, consultancy services for pollution prevention and training.
