Fulcrum Utility Services has completed the acquisition of specialised engineering utility business, CDS Pipe Services.

The deal, which is worth £1.4 million, will see Fulcrum bring CDS' engineering capabilities in-house to further strengthen its direct delivery capabilities.

Previously, Fulcrum has subcontracted specialist elements of its projects to CDS.


Martin Harrison, Chief Executive of Fulcrum, said: "The successful execution of the Company's strategy continues to place Fulcrum in a strong financial and operational position. The recent acquisition of Dunamis and CDS announced today have enhanced our service offering and in-house capabilities, establishing and growing our market leading position in both infrastructure delivery and utility asset ownership. We remain confident in our outlook for the business."

The deal represents Fulcrum's second acquisition in two months, having purchased electrical infrastructure company Dunamis Group in February.
