The rename comes after Keltbray Infrastructure Services Ltd (KISL) was acquired by EMK Capital back in August
The process to rebrand KISL to AUREOS has been ongoing for the past four months, involving both employee engagement and customer feedback, according to their statement.
The name roughly translates to ‘a new dawn’, reflecting the new start and the work the company does in energy security and decarbonisation.
The firm has been active before the name change
In October, KISL acquired Linbrook Services, a National Rail-approved contractor with 140 staff and a £500m work pipeline.
At the time of acquisition it was said that Linbrooke would focus purely on the power sector.
Linbrooke had previously suffered a loss of £1m as of its 2023 annual report, due to a lack of investment in large scale infrastructure projects as well as trade unions pay and condition disputes.
KISL was sold to EMK Capital in August, in what they said was a move allowing Keltbray to focus on their core business areas, and position KISL for continued growth under EMK.
At the time, Brendan Kerr, owner of Keltbray, said: “This decision aligns with Keltbray’s long-term strategy to hone our focus on key business areas, allowing us to reinforce our commitment to excellence in the specialist engineering sector. Now is the right time for KISL to transition to a new owner and start a new chapter in its successful growth story.”
The new name marks a new beginning for the firm
Darren James, CEO of AUREOS, said: “This is an important time in the evolution of our company. As AUREOS we commit to all our stakeholders to always strive to be their first choice as ‘The leading infrastructure engineering services provider for the energy security and decarbonised transport sectors.”
“I am particularly pleased with the engagement of our extended team in choosing the new company name as we enter the next exciting phase of growth.”
