A Devon groundworks contractor has been acquired by a Canadian construction corporation for a seven-figure sum.
Exeter-headquartered Belowground Contracts, which provides piling construction, underpinning and construction services for commercial and domestic projects across the south of England and Wales, has been bought by GoliathTech.
Alistair Garden, who founded Belowground in 2006, will continue with the company as operations director for the next three years, as it is integrated into GoliathTech. The sale comes as Mr Garden begins to plan his retirement from the trade.
