Kier

£3.3bn – Construction and infrastructure services

Areas of operations:

BM&T were engaged by Kier, a leading UK publicly quoted construction company in the pre-acquisition due diligence of Tilbury Douglas, an underperforming subsidiary of Interserve. BM&T evaluated the balance sheet and P/L issues of the target that had suffered a significant loss of accounting records. The BM&T evaluation and report highlighted too many unquantifiable risks, and significant unexplained balances in the accounting records for Kier to proceed and the proposed acquisition was aborted.
