1. One of Scotland’s largest independent construction and civil engineering firms has been taken over.
RJ Mcleod (Contractors) was founded in 1951 and had annual turnover of more than £210 million.
It has been snapped up by OCU Group, a utilities infrastructure specialist, which said the deal would see the enlarged group book revenue greater than £800 million.
