Vico Advisory Proud to Support O’Callaghan Moran in Successful Sale to ORS

Vico Advisory is proud to have advised O’Callaghan Moran (“OCM”), one of Ireland’s leading environmental consultancy firms, on its successful sale to ORS, a top multi-disciplinary consultancy firm serving the construction sector.

The acquisition marks a significant milestone for both firms. OCM, established in 1997 in Cork, brings deep expertise in waste management, regulatory compliance, environmental impact assessments, and contaminated land assessment and remediation. ORS, backed by private equity firm Erisbeg since 2023, has been rapidly expanding, completing six acquisitions in just over two years and growing its workforce by 300%.

With the addition of OCM and Coffey Consulting Engineering (“CCE”), ORS’s service offering now spans civil and structural engineering, project management, infrastructure, health and safety, building surveying, fire safety, energy management, environmental services, and mechanical and electrical engineering.

Speaking about the acquisitions, ORS Managing Director John Brennan said:

“These are two key acquisitions which build out our service offering significantly.

But more importantly, OCM and CCE are run by people who share our values of ambition, commitment to quality, and a people-first approach. We have known and worked alongside both teams for years, so this was a natural evolution of already strong and trusting relationships.”

At Vico Advisory, we are committed to helping founders and business owners navigate the complex process of selling their businesses, ensuring they find the right partners who align not only on commercial terms but also on culture and long-term vision. 

Dónal O’Sullivan, CEO of Vico Advisory, commented:

“It was a pleasure to deal with the team at O’Callaghan Moran throughout the transaction. We are happy that OCM has gone to a good home and that the principals are very satisfied with the outcome.”

We congratulate the O’Callaghan Moran and ORS teams on this successful transaction and look forward to seeing their continued growth.
