Contollo expands with fifth acquisition

Backed by private equity firm NorthEdge, Contollo now comprises over 230 professionals across 19 offices, including its first German presence in Frankfurt.

Founded in 2013 by Kevin Sims and Mike Wilcock, KAM Project Consultants has built a strong reputation in the industrial and logistics sector, delivering expert project and cost management services from six UK offices and a German base. The acquisition significantly strengthens Contollo's core project and cost management offering, complementing its inaugural acquisition, Abacus.

Ruth Percival, CEO of Contollo Group, commented: "KAM is an excellent addition to the Contollo Group. The company’s scale in project and cost management significantly strengthens our offering, particularly in the industrial and logistics sector—a market with tremendous opportunities. KAM's strategic focus on sustainability aligns perfectly with our mission to drive ultra-low carbon, cost-effective solutions for the built environment.

“2025 has already been a pivotal year for Contollo. As we integrate our teams, we remain focused on delivering smart, innovative solutions to our clients and identifying like-minded partners for future growth. Our expanding capabilities and sector expertise position us to add increasing value across the built environment."

Scott Price, Managing Director of KAM, commented: "We have been in talks with Contollo for some time and we have been consistently impressed by the way they operate and deliver results. KAM is ready for its next stage of growth, but it was paramount that any new partner we engaged with was people oriented. We are confident that Contollo is the respectful, growth focused partner we were looking for. The opportunity this brings for our clients, the business and our team is really exciting."

Contollo continues to pursue its strategy of acquiring multiple UK businesses, establishing its position as a leading built environment consultancy.
