"The acquisition of BCS further enhances the Aim Group service offering to our existing and new clients. BCS is a well-respected fabrication company within our industry and there are synergies between [Aim Engineering & Construction] and BCS in regard to client base and sector offerings. With the acquisition now in place, Aim Group will leverage the experience of BCS to further develop opportunities in steel and pipework fabrication as well as onsite installation.

“Along with the business, we will also be welcoming BCS employees to the team.”
