Irish construction services firm PM Group has bought a 50% stake in an Indian company and has dispatched some of its senior management to Bangalore, according to a newspaper report.

While the deal has yet to be formally unveiled, company boss Pat McGrath has said that "40 or 50 people" are already working in a PM-branded Indian office, the Irish Independent has said.

"The plan would be to get that to 100 as quickly as possible," Mr McGrath added.

PM has also just signed up for an office in Brussels, with China and Brussels earmarked as two major targets for 2010.

The latest additions bring PM's total international presence to about 20 offices.
