This merger results in a new PWC Companies business unit under the day-to-day leadership of Anna Torre-Smith that will operate as PWC Craftsmen. ATS's plasterers, carpenters, and masons team members will join PWC's self-perform team members, and significantly enhance the company's specialty self-perform and historic preservation capabilities.
