The Dar-owned consultancy bought Australian firm Crown Project Services for an undisclosed sum
Currie & Brown has acquired Sydney-based project management and property advisory company Crown Project Services.
The London-headquartered firm paid an undisclosed sum for the Australian business, which employs around 25 people from an office in Sydney.
Euan McEwan, Currie & Brown鈥檚 chief executive, said: 鈥淭his provides an immediate synergy with our existing operations and strengthens our project management offering.
鈥淚t doubles the size of our business in Australia and will allow us to service the growing social and economic infrastructure market on the country鈥檚 east coast.鈥�
Crown Project Services has previously worked with a number of high-profile clients including the Sydney Opera House, the Federal Court of Australia and HSBC.
Currie & Brown, which was bought by Lebanese-giant Dar Group in 2012, has bought three businesses since 2015, including the 拢9.3m acquisition of the Asia Pacific division of rival Sweett.
At the time McEwan told 黑洞社区 the acquisition would enable the firm to pursue its 鈥渟trategic target鈥� of securing 鈥渋nternational agreements鈥� with multinational corporate clients.
McEwan said: 鈥淲e were in the US and the Middle East but the bit that was missing for us was the Asia Pacific region. We can now move towards a more global offering.鈥�
Currie & Brown has been operating in Australia for 50 years with three offices on the east coast in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
