When the owner of this well-run family business was ready to fully retire, they turned to Business Partnership following an introduction from a trusted local solicitor.
Established in 2000, the business had grown steadily over the years, employing a team of 30 staff and operating under a strong management structure. With a Managing Director, Finance Director, and key department managers in place, the business was effectively self-sufficient which is a key factor in making it an attractive proposition for buyers.
Operating in the medical and precision engineering sector, the company served a broad customer base, including 146 Acute Trusts across the UK, which accounted for around 75% of its revenue. The business combined its own manufacturing capabilities with a wholesale arm, offering imported products under its own brand label.
The sale was structured as a 100% share sale, ensuring a seamless transition for the new owner while maintaining the company’s well-established operations. With a strong team in place and a solid market presence, the business was well-positioned for continued success under its new ownership.
This transaction highlights the importance of succession planning and structured exit strategies, allowing business owners to step away with confidence, knowing their legacy and employees remain secure.
(This sale was managed by John Hatt who retired from Business Partnership in 2024)
