Beca welcomes new external shareholder partner

We are pleased to welcome Direct Capital, New Zealand’s leading private company investor, as a minority shareholder in Beca.

As New Zealand’s largest international professional services consultancy, Beca has experienced significant growth in the last two decades and has built an impressive reputation in its key markets. Direct Capital’s investment will help us continue this pace of growth as we enter our second century, innovating and delivering new solutions for clients. 

Beca Chairman, David Carter, said, “As a values-driven, employee owned company, with a growth rather than leverage driven investment model, Direct Capital is an ideal partner to help us seize upon the opportunities our second century of operations will bring. We are committed to remaining an employee owned company - our people are the lifeblood of our company and we are accountable to one another for its continued growth. I know that Direct Capital will add great value to Beca, bringing its investment expertise and network, infrastructure knowledge and Trans-Tasman experience.”

 “We are excited to be investing into Beca. It is one of the largest and most highly regarded private companies in New Zealand” said Direct Capital’s Ross George. “Our investment is for a minority shareholding. Beca is proudly employee owned and that is something we are very supportive of. Beca has many exciting opportunities ahead of it and we look forward to working with management and the board to act on these opportunities.”
