He said: “The merger of two well respected and progressive firms in East Anglia comes at a very exciting time for the Energy sector in the East. There are more and more Energy sector businesses every year that are real success stories, in terms of growth, job creation and attracting inward investment into the region. The team here at Ashton KCJ are really looking forward to playing a part in taking the sector forward by helping businesses achieve their ambitions through the full range of commercial services that we have available from our seven offices throughout East Anglia.”
