“It has been a pleasure working with CEO Bo Sasnett and the rest of the D&H United team on this important transaction,” said Luke Semple, a managing director at Harris Williams. “D&H United has grown into a premier platform in its industry, as the remarkable breadth and quality of its testing, inspection, and compliance; maintenance; and installation services across both retail fueling and EV charging infrastructure make the company an essential partner for its customers.”
