Tetra Tech nips in to best WSP in race to buy UK consultant
US firm tables £636m bid for RPS, trumping summer offer made by Canadian rival
Tetra Tech is set to continue its raid on UK consultants with the firm agreeing to buy RPS Group for more than £600m – trumping a bid from WSP made over the summer.
The California-based business, which was set up in 1966 and has been listed on the US Nasdaq exchange for over 30 years, bought WYG for £54m three years ago and Hoare Lea last summer for an undisclosed sum.
