Brynelooby rebrands to Ayesa

Brynelooby, a structural and civil engineering firm, has yesterday (23 October) rebranded to its parent-company Ayesa after being acquired by them in February 2022.

This change encompasses the adoption of the Ayesa brand across websites, brochures, projects, and presentations. Despite this transition, the offices in the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East will maintain their commitment to delivering the same services through the same team members as in the past. While the company’s legal entities will remain unchanged, it will promote its services and capabilities under the name Ayesa.

John Byrne, Ayesa’s UK and Ireland manager, said: “From the beginning, we could see that both companies are very similar in goals, culture and philosophy, with teams striving to deliver better quality and a more sustainable and resilient built environment. Since the acquisition, we’ve continued to grow our revenues, staff and capabilities, making significant inroads into the vibrant UK and Ireland infrastructure sectors. I’m excited about the future as we can do much more with greater agility, maintaining our core offering of highly technical and multidisciplinary services but now on a global scale.”

Leo Leeman, director at Benfleet Scrap Co. Ltd, commented: “We looked at some of the alternative technologies available on the market before choosing to partner with Tomra and also spoke to our industry contacts, all of whom spoke very highly of the technology and, importantly, the team of experts at Tomra. Tomra’s machines are very reliable and robust, and the extended warranty they offer gives us an extra layer of assurance.”

Every Halloween thousands of pumpkins across the borough are thrown away and residents are being reminded that they can be recycled with your food waste that is collected weekly. The council says residents can leave their pumpkin in, or on top of your brown food waste bin and it will be collected for recycling.

Cabinet lead for environment Cllr Rupert Kyrle said: “It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying Halloween across the borough. If you’re not going to cook your pumpkin, then there is just no excuse for not composting or recycling your pumpkin.”
