M&R’s Clough snaps up Scottish engineering firm for £9m
Following the establishment of its engineering centre in Glasgow earlier this year, engineering and project services company Clough, which is a subsidiary of Murray & Roberts, on Friday, announced the acquisition of privately-owned Scotland-based engineering services company Booth Welsh for £9-million.
Booth Welsh specialised in the provision of electrical, instrumentation and automation design, process consultancy, project management, implementation and commissioning services, servicing clients in the oil and gas, life sciences, petrochemical, chemicals, nuclear, utilities and food and beverage industries.
Clough CEO and MD Kevin Gallagher said the acquisition would bring complementary skills and significantly strengthen the group’s service offering.
“Booth Welsh will become a centre for highly specialised electrical, instrumentation and automation design.
“The company’s controls and asset management capability will enhance Clough’s operations and maintenance services, while their specialisation in control system design will assist the CloughCoens commissioning business in Korea with design, delivery and commissioning activities,” he said in a statement.
Booth Welsh MD Martin Welsh said he was looking forward to the opportunities that would be afforded through the transaction.
“As part of Clough, Booth Welsh will access larger scopes of work in our current market sectors, while expanding our oil and gas business globally. We will draw on Clough’s strong engineering and project management capabilities to provide a comprehensive suite of engineering and design services to our clients,” he noted.
