Irish engineering services business, Obelisk has announced the acquisition of the telecoms division of leading international infrastructure group, Balfour Beatty.
The move, which follows Obelisk’s acquisition by Constructel Visabeira in 2022, underpins the company’s ongoing UK growth strategy to extend its service offering, technical capacity and scope for innovation in fixed line, mobile and energy services, along with the support of MJ Quinn and fellow subsidiaries.
