Business description

The company presents a unique opportunity to acquire a multi-discipline contractor working for blue-chip companies, councils, and major utility companies. The company provides civil engineering, refurbishment, fit out, D&B (both civils and building), and utility infrastructure.

Priding itself on its extensive reputation for excellence, the company has established a market niche through secure, well-established frameworks with national clients, placing it in an ideal position to be expanded within a larger group.
The company has developed a long-standing national client base, benefitting from a multitude of tender opportunities, with limited competition.
The business is now being offered for sale to facilitate retirement plans.
Offers invited.

    progressive buyer to expand the business.
