Corrs Chambers Westgarth has assisted Fleetwood Corporation Limited (Fleetwood) in its acquisition of BRB Modular Pty Ltd (BRB), advised by Arnold Bloch Liebler.

The acquisition involved an investment by Fleetwood of $56.5 million, comprising 2.5 million shares in Fleetwood and a payment of $31.5 million in cash, to be funded using Fleetwood's facility with Westpac. BRB currently manufactures and installs prefabricated modular building solutions predominantly for the public sector in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.

According to Corrs, the acquisition provides Fleetwood with an immediate entry into the public sector in these states and the potential to enter the market in other states and territories.

It also provides capability for Fleetwood's existing business, most notably as a provider of accommodation for the resources industry to expand into the east coast markets.

The Corrs team was lead by corporate partner Christian Owen and senior associate Louis Martin.
