Ricky Edwards, Co-Founder of RTC, said, “This is a great outcome for Richmond Traffic Control, our customers and our employees as we believe Moeris will continue to build upon the strong reputation of integrity, safety and customer service that have been integral to RTC’s success over the past 18 years. I would like to thank the Marriott & Co. team for guiding us through this process of finding a great owner for our company.”
Added Tom Kinsling, Co-Founder of RTC, “We had a great experience working with the Marriott & Co. team to achieve this successful sale of RTC. Their team took the time to understand our key objectives up front, and then they created and executed upon a detailed and organized sale process to achieve those goals. Their team was responsive, hands-on and critical to the success of this transaction.”
“We are grateful to Ricky and Tom for entrusting us to advise on this major event in the history of Richmond Traffic Control,” said Bryan Burden, Managing Director of Marriott & Co., “They built a great business and we are happy to have played a role in helping them achieve a smooth ownership transition to another company that will continue to build upon their legacy. We wish Ricky and Tom, the Moeris team and the Caymus team all the best in the future.”
Justin Marriott, Managing Director of Marriott & Co., commented, “We are excited to announce our second transaction in the traffic control industry over the past year. This sector continues to see a high level of M&A activity driven by strong industry tailwinds such as continued infrastructure investment across the U.S., along with many well-capitalized larger companies seeking geographic growth via acquisition. We expect to stay active in assisting other closely-owned traffic control companies in sale transactions in the years to come.”
