With a team of 30 based in Glasgow and Inverness, MATtest Site Services Limited offers a comprehensive range of UKAS-accredited materials testing for the construction industry. The team is qualified to complete a range of laboratory and site testing on soils, aggregate, rock, concrete and bituminous to British, European, and American Standards. Since it was founded, MATtest Site Services Limited has worked on many major contracts throughout Europe.

MATtest Site Services Limited founder Stephen Mogford believes Celnor is the right home for MATtest Site Services Limited. "I have had several approaches over the years, but as soon as I met Simon and learned more about Celnor, I knew the business would be in good hands. The team will continue to be led by Mike Osbaldstone and I am sure it will go from strength to strength with the support of Celnor behind it."
