ISGroup Announces Strategic Partnership with Global Player Phenna Group

ISGroup, a leading provider of geospatial solutions across Australia and internationally, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Phenna Group, a UK-based global network of specialist Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Compliance (TICC) businesses. 

This partnership marks a significant milestone for ISGroup, as it accelerates its vision to become a global platform for geospatial intelligence and solutions. With operations spanning Australia, the United Kingdom, Papua New Guinea, and beyond, ISGroup has built a reputation for solving complex, real-world challenges through geospatial innovation, technology, and a strong client-first culture. 

Founded in 1997 by Peter Rullo, ISGroup originated from a small surveying business and has grown into a group of market-leading businesses that are transforming industries with data-driven, spatially enabled insights. 

Peter Rullo, Founder and Executive Director – M&A at ISGroup:
“After nearly three decades since founding Land Surveys, this partnership with Phenna Group is a defining moment in our journey. Phenna not only shares our values and ambition but also sees the same opportunities in geospatial that we do. They are backing our bold plan to position ISGroup as the leading platform for geospatial services and solutions worldwide. 

This partnership empowers us to further invest in our people, technology, and strategic acquisitions, and gives us the momentum to take our Australian-led expertise to the world stage.” 

Phenna Group’s investment in ISGroup marks its first major move into the geospatial space, recognising the sector’s growing importance in infrastructure, environmental monitoring, asset management, urban planning, and digital transformation. 

Brett Coleman, Divisional Managing Director Asia at Phenna Group:
“ISGroup represents everything we look for in a strategic partner – strong leadership, technical depth, cultural alignment, and a clear growth trajectory. 

The global demand for geospatial solutions is only accelerating, and ISGroup is ideally positioned to lead this transformation. We’re excited to support Peter and the team in scaling their proven model, bringing their geospatial capabilities to a global audience, and complementing our broader TICC portfolio.” 

The partnership will see ISGroup continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership, with a focus on expanding its footprint through acquisitions and joint ventures with like-minded businesses that share its culture and long-term vision.
