About the parties
Founded in 2025 by Denis Piffaretti, Florian Kronawitter and Nick Manning, Empower’s mission is to build a market-leading technical services group in the UK. The group aims to unite complementary capabilities and support outstanding entrepreneurs, with proven track records, to better serve commercial and industrial clients across the UK. This partnership strengthens its presence in the water sector and supports its broader ambition to diversify across adjacent verticals. With several additional businesses currently in exclusivity, Empower will soon be able to offer a broad range of services to its customers.
Circle is a leading electrical engineering company specialising in the water sector. With a 30 year legacy of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects alongside Tier 1 contractors, Circle brings deep industry expertise and a skilled 35-strong workforce, operating across Yorkshire and surrounding regions.
Empower CEO, Nick Manning, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Circle as the first member of the Empower group. From the outset, we aimed high for our first partnership, and Circle has exceeded those expectations. Gavin and his team have built an exceptional business, and we’re excited to support their continued success in a market full of potential.”
