Birketts advises on sale of Castons and CCAS to Artelia

Castons Consulting is one of East Anglia’s leading professional property and construction consultants, providing surveying, construction, and health and safety services to the private and public sectors, in particular healthcare and education.

Castons Construction Advisory Service (CCAS) Ltd is a construction related health & safety consultancy, established in 1995 at the inception of the original Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.

Artelia Group, an independent project and engineering consultancy working across the built environment, energy, mobility, industry, and water sectors, says Cantons will continue its operations under its existing name, benefitting from the support and resources of Artelia.

Legal Director Rachel Astill led the Birketts team and was assisted by Alexandra Nelson (Partner, Corporate), Lucy Easey (Solicitor, Corporate), Lucy Wolfenden (Trainee Solicitor, Corporate), Jonathan Insley (Senior Associate, Employment), Stacy Aspden (Legal Director, Commercial Property), Robbie Watson (Senior Associate, Corporate Tax) and Edward Bouckley (Senior Associate, Commercial and Technology).

Rachel Astill said: “We were delighted to act on behalf of the individual shareholders of Castons in the sale of their companies to Artelia Holdings and to work together with David Scrivener and the team at Ensors Accountants LLP.

"The sale expands Castons’ range of specialised services and, with a broader geographical reach, will allow the companies to pursue new and exciting growth opportunities. We wish them all the best for the future.”
