Lisburn: McQuillan Companies strengthens portfolio and welcomes 40 staff following acquisition of Bangor-based family business
Lisburn-based McQuillan Companies has further strengthened its business portfolio with the acquisition of Wallace Contracts.
Established almost 40 years ago by Graeme and Grace Wallace, the Bangor business is a well-known and respected contracting and facilities management operation.
It works across a number of key areas including insurance repairs, landscaping, winter maintenance, emergency response, building and general maintenance in corporate, business and public sectors.
Following this announcement, Wallace Contracts will now become part of McQuillan Companies portfolio. As part of the acquisition, Graeme, Grace, and their team of 40 staff will transition into the McQuillan Companies.
The Lisburn family business says the deal strengthens the current offering provided across civil engineering, demolition, quarrying, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, outdoor cleaning, winter maintenance and analytical laboratory services.
A statement on behalf of McQuillan Companies said: “We are delighted to acquire and take on Wallace Contracts as part of McQuillan Companies business. This addition to our portfolio will strengthen the services we provide across our existing businesses, whilst also adding even more services to new and existing customers.
"We welcome the 40 staff from Wallace Contracts into the McQuillan Companies family and we are very excited to work with the team to build on the solid foundations created by Graeme and Grace Wallace over nearly 40 years in business.
“All services provided by Wallace Contracts to existing customers will continue to be delivered to the same high standards throughout this transition and we look forward to developing our relationship with everyone involved in Wallace Contracts.”
