- Brush’s acquisition of Rybka, a leader in M&E consultancy, marks a strategic expansion into the Scottish market, positioning itself as a comprehensive energy solutions provider.
- The integration enables Rybka to leverage Brush’s resources to expand operations into England and Wales, bolstered by its alignment with London-based Eta Projects.

- The merger is poised to enhance Brush’s ESG ambitions, fostering advancements in decarbonisation and sustainability within engineering consultancy.
In a significant development, the esteemed Edinburgh-based consulting engineer Rybka has transitioned to new ownership under Brush, the venerable Loughborough-based manufacturer of transformers and switchgear. The acquisition is a testament to Brush’s commitment to expanding its portfolio to encompass mechanical and electrical (M&E) consulting engineering.
Brush’s strategic move to acquire Rybka signifies a deliberate step to broaden its footprint in the Scottish market and to diversify its expertise in energy engineering solutions. The partnership between Rybka and Brush allows for a synergy of capabilities, enhancing service offerings that now include building information modelling, building physics, Passivhaus design, and low carbon consulting.
Rybka’s incorporation into Brush Engineering Solutions will facilitate robust growth into the English and Welsh markets, supported by collaborations with London-based Eta Projects. Eta Projects, acquired by Brush in 2022, brings a wealth of experience in healthcare and critical infrastructure, providing a strong foundation for Rybka’s geographical and service expansion.
Despite the change in ownership, Rybka will operate independently to continue delivering its established suite of services to its clientele. This autonomy ensures uninterrupted service quality and client relationships, while enabling Rybka to harness Brush’s industry expertise and resources for expanded opportunities.
The acquisition aligns with Brush’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ambitions, creating pathways for enhanced decarbonisation initiatives. Brush CEO Nicolas Pitrat expressed enthusiasm for the merger, highlighting shared values and expertise as pivotal in driving forward Brush’s sustainability goals across its engineering ventures.
The acquisition of Rybka by Brush represents a strategic alignment of capabilities poised to drive innovation and sustainable growth in engineering consultancy.
