We’re excited to share that WHS has been acquired by Vistal, a 100% employee-owned enterprise of complementary engineering companies.

This is an exciting step forward for our team and our clients. As part of Vistal, we gain additional resources and support while continuing to invest in our people, capabilities, and long-term client outcomes. It also means our employees become employee-owners, creating even greater alignment and investment in the work we do.

Vistal supports its companies with strategic services and a strong network across multiple offices, helping us scale while staying focused on delivering for our clients.

Just as important, what you know and trust about WHS isn’t changing. Our name, team, and leadership remain the same, and we’ll continue delivering the same level of service, responsiveness, and expertise you expect.

Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible while creating new opportunities to grow and better serve our clients.
If you have questions, we’re always happy to connect.
