Powercor has confirmed the acquisition of Osborne & Collins, an electrical contracting business based in Surrey.
Following the acquisition, Powercor has confirmed that it will create a new division dubbed ‘Powercor Maintenance’, which will trade under the Osborne & Collins brand. This new division should complement Powercor’s existing business, as well as Osborne & Collins customers.
According to Powercor, as a certified system integrator of Signify and a leader in the installation of sustainable energy solutions and a specialist LED lighting, power infrastructure, smart metering and electrical compliance, the company will now be able to offer Osborne & Collins clients an extended range of cutting edge services.
Chris Wright, Technical Director at Powercor, noted, “We are delighted to have reached agreement with Mike and Terri to acquire a company that has such an outstanding reputation for the work they do. The two companies are an excellent fit. Both are built on the foundations of quality workmanship and a strong service culture, which is at the heart of everything we do.”
“Osborne & Collins will enable Powercor to continue delivering on our ambitious plans for growth, driven by the demand from both the private and public sectors for expert support in the transition to modern energy infrastructures and a new and sustainable energy future.”
Powercor’s Martin Brant has assumed the role of Operations Director, taking on responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the new entity.
Mike Collins, Director of Osborne & Collins, added, “We are pleased to have become part of Powercor. What attracted us to the business is the shared culture and the focus on first class service. Powercor can offer our clients a wider range of cutting edge products and services at a time when businesses of all sizes are looking to create their strategies for a move to net zero, and Powercor has established an unrivalled reputation for its work in all areas of sustainable energy.”
