Balfour snaps up Strata

Dec 24 2009 By nebusiness

The UK’s biggest builder, Balfour Beatty, today bolstered its regional arm with a £10.3m takeover of Strata Construction.

Doncaster-based Strata, a mostly family-owned firm founded 90 years ago, specialises in affordable housing work.

Balfour said the company would be added to its Mansell building operation, which currently has little presence in the affordable housing market in Yorkshire.
