Two US firms vie to take over Davis Langdon

摘要

Davis Langdon is in talks with two American suitors about a possible takeover. Sources close to the situation said the UK's second largest QS had been in sale discussions with ￡3.8bn-turnover multidisciplinary group Aecom since before Christmas, while engineering giant Jacobs has also held recent talks about a deal. Speculation over a takeover heightened this week with reports that partners at Davis Langdon, which employs 5,000 people, held an emergency meeting in London on Monday to vote on takeover proposals.
