Based in Chesterton, Toft Johnson is one of only five main contractors on the Renew North Staffordshire panel, a partnership of local organisations that are working together to deliver a £2.3 billion investment programme.
Wrekin has acquired the business from the Johnson family for an undisclosed sum. The management team at Wrekin now plan to grow the firm by maximising opportunities from Renew.
Peter Greenwood, Group Joint Managing Director, explained: "This acquisition forms part of our strategic objective to build a group of businesses that complement each other. This will give us an increasingly diverse client base that reduces our exposure to any single area of the economy and provides a robust defence against this and any future down turn.
"We are pleased to welcome Toft Johnson on board knowing that they match our values and operate to the high ethical and quality standards that both Wrekin Group and our clients demand. Wrekin Group now has five quality businesses that are committed to continually improve all services to our clients and provide opportunities for staff fulfillment."
