Paul Barry, CEO of Phenna Group commented: “I am delighted to complete our first acquisition in the Middle East, which complements our existing service portfolio and provides a one stop shop offering in the Built Environment sector. The support received from the Armstrong team was excellent and assisted greatly in our overall evaluation of the opportunity.”
