BMT acquires Verweij & Hoebee

The acquisition will benefit both parties. Verweij & Hoebee intend to make good use of BMT’s international network to reach new customers and the BMT Group wants to grow its global network of Hull & Machinery (H&M) surveyors.

Bruce Verweij, managing director, Verweij & Hoebee, said: “As a part of the BMT group we can fall back on the many facilities within the group, share our knowledge with them and make use of BMT’s international network to reach new customers. Whilst at the same time, we can remain a smaller specialist company serving a niche market in Europe.”

Peter French, chief executive, BMT Group added: “Having Verweij & Hoebee as part of the BMT group will allow us to offer a much wider and in depth service to the Northern Europe market.”

Established back in 1913, Verweij & Hoebee has built a strong reputation over the years as a leading provider of both blue water (coastal) and brown water (inland) H&M surveys in Europe.
