Brand Industrial Services (BrandSafway) is a construction and civil engineering company in the United States with customers in 30 countries and has annual sales of US$5 billion a year. In September 2022, Standard and Poor’s downgraded its credit rating to C++ from B- on slower recovery in operating margins.

I find Third Bridge extremely useful for ramping up on a sector. A lot of names are private, so these transcripts really help me to better understand the company.
