TRANSACT IONS TRINITY CONSULTANTS ACQUIRES PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT FIRM PROVENANCE CONSULTING Trinity Consultants, Inc. , an international EHS, engineering, and sciences firm, announced that it acquired Provenance Consulting, LLC , a specialty firm that is focused on process safety management in the petrochemical industry. Facilities in the oil and gas and chemical industries are typically subject to OSHA’s PSM program which is intended to protect employees from hazards resulting from activities involving the storage, use, on-site movement, and manufacturing of chemicals. Provenance specializes in performing the complex technical analyses required to demonstrate compliance including process hazards analysis and risk assessment, independent protection layer documentation

and validation, relief systems evaluation, and mechanical integrity and Inspection. The addition of Provenance will significantly broaden and enhance Trinity’s existing PSM capabilities. Founded in 2006 by Justin Adams, Patrick Nonhof, and Tony Powell, the Provenance team of more than 70 engineering and technical resources serves global clients at client sites and from their offices located in Houston, Borger, Amarillo, and Austin, Texas. Provenance was created to provide specialized PSM services with a focus on exceptional quality coupled with efficient, consistent project execution strategies. The approach has resulted in strong, long-term client relationships that has allowed the company to grow rapidly over its 13 year

history. With support from Trinity, Provenance will continue to provide clients with the same exceptional customer service. Provenance will continue to operate under current leadership. Shishir Mohan, managing director of Trinity’s Gulf Region, comments, “Trinity is very gratified to complete this transaction with Provenance. We have known and respected the firm’s work for a number of years and feel that their capabilities will dovetail nicely with Trinity as we serve many of the same clients. We’re also very impressed with the management capabilities of the founders and look forward to working with them to grow the business.” Founded in 1974 in Dallas, Texas, Trinity’s 900-employees operate in locations across North America, the U.K., China, and Australia.

But most of all, and this costs virtually nothing, we strive to walk around the office and get to know the “real workers” better. Our marketing department came up with a “Lunch Lotto” that randomly groups partners and work staff for lunch outings. We have also created a Leadership Committee comprised of “up and comers” who are nominated by the partners. They help shape company policy and procedures and offer a fresh point of view that benefits the firm. “Because of the size of our firm and the reliability and work ethic of my partners, I spend very little billable time on projects. Most of my time is comprised of trying to advance our brand, business development, and the financial aspects of our business.”

We have an HR director and an in-house recruiter who are mindful of this and they are always on the lookout for opportunities to increase our diversity and inclusion. But we, as the management team, need to increase our awareness and further our education of both. This won’t happen overnight, but it is a recruiting tool for some people, and we need to be diverse like our clients already are. TZL: A firm’s longevity is valuable. What are you doing to encourage your staff to stick around? RC: A couple of years ago, Zweig Group helped with our five-year strategic plan. They conducted an employee survey first that we found to be very telling. We received low grades in employee engagement. We now communicate financial metrics with the staff including profitability. We also give an annual bonus to everyone in the firm
