SEH CEO/President David Ott and RPE CEO/President Mike Russell share in their excitement to merge companies.
“Early in the due diligence process, we recognized the value both companies could offer to employees and clients,” said Ott. “Mike Russell and his company are well-known, well-respected and award-winning. We look forward to leveraging the talents of both companies for the benefit of our clients and our employees.”
“SEH has a solid reputation and has stood the test of time. I believe our clients and employees will benefit immediately,” said Russell. “SEH offers an expansive suite of services our clients need to grow and manage their infrastructure. The merger will also provide more training and growth opportunities for our employees, and the opportunity to work on different types of projects.”
In conclusion, Ott states, “We look forward to integrating these two great companies. We are excited for the many excellent opportunities ahead to expand services to more clients, develop our people, grow our business and Build a Better World for All of Us®.”
