Ethos acquires 3DEC

We’re delighted to announce that we have acquired 3DEC, a UK-based technology design consultancy, providing world-class service to data centres, commercial workplaces and educational environments.

3DEC specialises in ICT, Audiovisual, BIM-led design, and Project Management services. We've built an excellent offering in this area already, and 3DEC’s expertise will help complement and build on that.

ICT design services are mission-critical within data-centre environments, as end-user demand for performance, resilience, and scalability continues to increase. This means that specialist external providers like Ethos can add significant value through their expertise and capability.

We know the team at 3DEC well and have already worked with them on many projects. Throughout this time, it’s been very clear that they share a similar culture to ours, focused on excellence and innovation for their clients. Bringing 3DEC’s expertise in-house will help us deliver projects more quickly for clients than if we remained separate businesses.

Adding their team of more than 40 highly skilled engineers also highlights our long-term commitment to the UK market and our continued investment in local capability.

This is another major strategic milestone for our business, following the investment we received from Exponent in 2024. Over this period, we have significantly grown revenue, expanded our team to 259 employees, acquired SIMSTUDIO International Consultants, and moved into our purpose-built new HQ. We are very grateful to our people and our valued customers for their ongoing support of our business, and look forward to welcoming our new 3DEC colleagues to the Ethos team.
