Joint Managing Directors Rob Travis and Dave Baker said: "Travis Baker has joined the RSK Group because it offers a diverse portfolio of projects around the world in technical disciplines that are both complementary to and supportive of much of what Travis Baker already does. This acquisition unlocks further growth opportunities not only for the business, but for our skilled engineers specialising in geo-environmental, civil and structural engineering."
