Kelso-owned J.S. Held acquires consulting business SPECS
J.S. Held has acquired SPECS, a Langley, British Columbia-based property risk and loss quantification consulting business, for an undisclosed amount. Established in 1995 by President David Wallace, SPECS provides property damage assessments, restoration consulting, construction project administration, risk management, facility services, and catastrophic response from 18 offices in Canada. J.S. Held, a Jericho, New York-based specialty consulting agency, said the acquisition complements its portfolio of professional services in building consulting and strengthens its ability to support Canadian clients. J.S. Held was acquired in July by U.S. mid-market private equity firm Kelso & Co from Lovell Minnick Partners.
