WWe’re pleased to announce that utilities infrastructure specialist Petrie Buchanan has joined the Wallace Whittle group as part of our continued growth strategy.
Founded in 2002, Petrie Buchanan is well established across the UK, providing multi-utility infrastructure design and management to housebuilders and developers from planning through to completion.
The acquisition strengthens our service offering and allows us to provide clients with even greater support across the full lifecycle of a project. By bringing utilities expertise into the group, we can help streamline delivery, reduce delays and improve coordination across services.
Petrie Buchanan will continue to operate under its existing brand, with all current employees and directors remaining in place following the acquisition.
Allan McGill, Managing Director at Wallace Whittle said:
“This is a strategic move to ensure our current and future clients have an increased level of efficiency and quality when it comes to accessing the services they need throughout a project. Petrie Buchanan’s experience and relationships within the utilities sector will help our clients access expertise more quickly while improving cohesion across services.
We’ve been actively pursuing our growth plans, particularly in England, and through the acquisition both businesses will be growing together and progressing towards our goals. Petrie Buchanan has a fantastic existing reputation and we’re eager to start working closely with the team. Energy is the thorn in everyone’s side currently and with each project needing to consider it we’re looking to join up to ease those pressures.”
John Petrie, Director at Petrie Buchanan said:
“After 25 years delivering expertise for our clients in the utilities sector, becoming part of the Wallace Whittle group is a significant milestone to support our growth and succession planning as well as theirs. I feel we’ve found the perfect culture fit for our team in joining forces with Wallace Whittle, and I’m looking forward to working with the management team, as I retain my role as company lead, to create a stronger and more comprehensive offering for the marketplace.
With demand high for our service offering, it’s a new and exciting challenge to maximise this with the backing of an established group.”
We already have a strong, long-term, working relationship with the Petrie Buchanan team, making this a natural fit for both businesses. Cross-team collaboration and knowledge sharing will allow us to continue enhancing the support and expertise we provide to clients across the UK.
This marks another exciting step in Wallace Whittle’s growth journey as we continue to expand our capabilities and strengthen our presence across the UK.
Wallace Whittle are looking for partnership or acquisition opportunities across the UK, with a focus in Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham, so if you are interested in a non-committal discussion please contact Allan.
