Tim and Tom O'Connor have never courted the limelight, even though they have regularly featured on the Sunday Times Rich List for Ireland.

Two Cork brothers who were based in the UK have sold their construction empire in deals worth an estimated €510m euros.

, specialising in work for major utilities in the north of England, including electricity, gas, water and telecoms. The brothers, now both in their 60s, worked hard to build a company that today employs over 3,000 staff and contractors across the UK, working for a business that earned revenues of around £300m in the financial year to April 2022.

Now their OCU Group has been bought by UK private equity group Triton Partners in a deal believed to be worth just under £400m. The brothers are also reported to have sold up on some smaller operations in other deals which have added cash to the pot.
