Engineering and project services company Clough Ltd. acquired Booth Welsh, a privately owned engineering services company headquartered in Ayrshire, Scotland. The acquisition follows the establishment of Clough’s engineering center in Glasgow earlier this year.
Booth Welsh specializes in the provision of electrical, instrumentation and automation design, process consultancy, project management, implementation and commissioning services. The company employs approximately 250 personnel, with the majority of the workforce comprising qualified engineers and designers. Booth Welsh services clients in the oil and gas, life sciences, petrochemical, chemicals, nuclear, utilities, and food and beverage industries.
Booth Welsh’s Managing Director Martin Welsh said he was looking forward to the opportunities this transaction would bring.
“As part of Clough, Booth Welsh will access larger scopes of work in our current market sectors, while expanding our Oil & Gas business globally,” Welsh says. “We will draw on Clough’s strong engineering and project management capabilities to provide a comprehensive suite of engineering and design services to our clients.”
