BPE was formed in 1997 as an independent Process Engineering Consultancy serving the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Since that time, we have grown year on year, with our success based upon strong partnerships with clients in the UK and Europe. In 2020, BPE was acquired by OLG, making us part of a larger engineering group and also enabling us to supply into other sectors, including Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals. Following a group rebrand in 2021, we are now operating under the name of OLG Consulting.
