Clough is pleased to announce that Webuild has entered into an agreement with Murray & Roberts for the acquisition of the Clough Group and all its shares. 

The deal will see Webuild acquiring 100% of the Clough Group including all its subsidiaries (e2o, Booth Welsh, CH-IV and JJ White) from Murray & Roberts.

Peter Bennett, Clough CEO and Managing Director said “Our business continues to deliver strong growth in key markets, and the combination of Webuild and Clough provides unique synergies into the booming construction sector. We both bring highly valued capabilities to our respective end markets, and our individual cultures and approach to business are complementary, as evidenced by our working relationships on two major projects where we are in Joint Venture together”

This acquisition by Webuild will bring significant operating and financial benefits for the combined Group in the way of integrated management of common projects, implementation of a single commercial strategy, functional optimisation and sharing of best practices. With their substantial balance sheet, Webuild will provide a strong foundation on which Cloughs’ continued growth is well supported.
