Irish firm wins €100m M25 deal

AN Irish-owned London based civil engineering company has won a €100 million contract to work on the M25 widening programme around Greater London, it emerged yesterday.

The McArdle Group, based in London but acquired by Cork-based equity firm Mercier Private Equity last year, has secured the lucrative three-year deal.

The group will undertake site clearance and earthworks covering about 60km, moving more than six million tonnes of soil and aggregates.
