Durley Group Holdings (DGH) subsidiary Countrywide Property Inspections (CPI) has acquired Hillcrest (Yorkshire) Ltd, which trades as Build Assured, through the issue of new shares.

DGH said the Hillcrest directors would join the board of DGH as part of the deal.

Following the merger, CPI will concentrate on its surveying services offered to the insurance industry, while Build Assured will focus on managed repair service for both RepairPlus clients and contractors, together with the expansion of its stand-alone managed contracting solution.

DGH said the merger would enable the group to significantly increase its capacity for growth.
