McColl Partners, LLC ("McColl Partners") is pleased to announce that it was awarded The M&A Advisor's Corporate/Strategic Acquisition of the Year Award in the European region for advising RT Dooley Construction Company, Inc. ("RT Dooley") in its sale to Balfour Beatty Construction Group, Inc., a division of U.K.-based Balfour Beatty plc ("Balfour Beatty"), a global construction, engineering, and investments business with more than $14 billion in annual revenue.
Eric Andreozzi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of McColl Partners, said, "We are honored to receive this recognition for our firm's advisory work, which resulted in an optimal outcome for the RT Dooley shareholders. Our team is pleased with the ongoing success of the combined company, and gratefully accepts The M&A Advisor's acknowledgement of our firm's strength in creating value through this cross-border transaction."
