Mon, 21 Sep 2026 | DIVISION SALE
Seras, a biomass fuel supplier based in Widnes, has acquired Enva’s dedicated wood processing business from Irish group Enva UK Opco, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition, which is effective immediately, encompasses Enva’s operations in Manchester, Middlesbrough and Tilbury.
The division processes grades A-C waste wood into products such as animal bedding, panel board feedstock and biomass fuel. Seras said that the Manchester site, which was formerly operated by Hadfield Wood Recyclers, can process in excess of 50 tonnes of grade A wood per hour.
The deal solidifies Seras’ position as one of the UK’s largest waste wood biomass fuel suppliers, as well as providing the company with a route into the market for sustainable products, such as animal bedding.
Richard Jenkins, Seras CEO, said, “This is an exciting time of growth for our business. This acquisition combines our expertise in waste wood management, wood skip services and biomass fuel supply, with that of Enva’s dedicated wood processing across the UK.”
“Seras has always held ambitious plans for the future, and this acquisition reinforces that, along with our long term commitment to our supply chains and customers. I welcome the Enva Wood team to Seras building on our skills set as waste wood operators.”
Seras Commercial Director Neil Spencer added: “Buying the dedicated waste wood operations of Enva is a fantastic strategic fit with our ambitious plans for growth. It ensures we can offer additional Northern locations, in Manchester and Middlesbrough, whilst strengthening our processing operations in Tilbury.”
Seras said that it is focused on securing a smooth transition during the post acquisition handover process, with Neil Spender saying the addition of the Enva Wood team demonstrated the firm’s “Stronger Together business values.”
Spencer added that the team would continue to seek out strategic opportunities, to ensure that the newly-expanded business division continues to grow in the UK waste wood sector.
