Balfour Kilpatrick and Haden Young have been combined to become the UK's largest M&E firm

Construction and engineering firm Balfour Beatty has formed a new operating company focusing on mechanical and electrical engineering, which it says will be the largest of its type in the UK.

Balfour Beatty Engineering Services is a merger of two of the company's acquisitions, Balfour Kilpatrick and Haden Young, which have previously operated as separate specialist businesses.

The new firm will have revenue of 拢600m and will offer national and regional coverage.

Balfour Beatty managing director John Moore said the firm would consolidate strong positions in the regional M&E, healthcare and education, power systems and power project markets and provide a single point of contact for customers.
