OTTAWA, Dec. 2, 2014 /CNW/ - MHPM Project Leaders, a
FirstService company (TSX: FSV), announces it has entered into a
formal relationship with Driver Group plc for the Middle East - Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
countries of Saudi Arabia, UAE,
Oman, Kuwait, Qatar
and Bahrain. The joint venture
combines MHPM's project leadership with Driver's dispute avoidance
and resolution expertise to provide a leading solution in
Middle East - GCC. The agreement
leverages Driver's long-standing network of offices, people and
clientele in the region.
"MHPM is pleased to partner with Driver," says Franklin Holtforster, President & CEO of
MHPM. "The relationship gives MHPM the infrastructure and
connections across the Middle East
to provide clients with superior project leadership."
"MHPM is a very well-respected project management business that
Driver Group is pleased to be associated with," says Dave Webster, CEO of Driver Group. "This
strategic partnership allows us to accelerate the development of a
project management offering across the Middle East with the capacity, skill set and
experience our clients require. I look forward to working with
Franklin and his team in developing the opportunities we see
available to us."
This is the second joint venture between MHPM and Driver. The
first led to the creation earlier this year of MHPM-Driver in
Canada, with Driver Group
providing dispute resolution and advisory services from MHPM's
network of offices.
