NMS director Roger Thistlethwaite (left) with Fox Group CEO Paul Fox (centre) and Fox director John FloodNMS Civil Engineering has become Fox Group’s second acquisition since it was itself acquired by Stellex Capital Management in September 2024. Its acquisition supports Fox Group’s move from its haulage and earthworks roots towards a circular construction materials business. The deal is expected to drive synergies for Fox, including the use of recycled asphalt planings (RAP) within the asphalt production process, with its new £4m Leyland asphalt plant having opened in July 2025. NMS has a strong management team, and we welcome them and their colleagues as we continue with our growth plans. The support and partnership from the team at the Fox Group will help further our mission to drive circularity and sustainability throughout our business.”Got a story?
