JMAC Industrial and Access Group Ltd has acquired a majority shareholding in Tees Site Support Ltd, marking the company’s first acquisition as it looks to grow its industrial services capability.

The deal, completed on 11 March 2026, brings additional expertise in rope access, confined space entry, rescue, cleaning and specialist industrial support into the group.

JMAC said the move is part of a longer-term plan to strengthen its position as a provider of industrial access solutions, alongside its existing scaffolding and access operations.

Tees Site Support operates across high-risk and complex environments, with services typically used in sectors such as energy, infrastructure and heavy industry. The addition is expected to broaden the range of services JMAC can offer to both existing and new clients.

Speaking about the acquisition on LinkedIn, Luis McCarthy said the business was progressing towards its long-term vision, building on its history and recent growth.

Ryan Payne described the deal as an important step in the company’s development, noting that it represents JMAC’s first acquisition and forms part of a wider pipeline of projects and growth plans.

The move reflects a wider shift in the access sector, where contractors are expanding beyond traditional scaffolding into rope access and specialist industrial services to meet demand for multi-discipline solutions.

JMAC indicated that further growth will be driven through a mix of organic development and future acquisitions.
