GROWTH IS GRANTED FOR SELLING COMPANY
Knightsbridge Commercial - UK's No.1 in Business Sales
We advise and support the buying and selling of UK business.
Our ‘professional and friendly’ service and ‘smooth and easy’ sale are praised...
Introducing our client: Datum Engineering Solutions (DES) - a sheet metal fabricator that provides high-quality sheet metal work from a workshop in Grimsby across the UK to some of the country’s leading blue chip companies.
Established in 2010, it manages every aspect of the product production, from initial site visits and designs, engineering, manufacture, installation, and project management.
DES is comprised of an experienced, highly-skilled small team which offers a personal service with reasonable overheads, providing one point of contact throughout the entire project.
Owner Chris Norvock wanted to sell for growth under a new owner and sought the help of Commercial Executive Jennifer Morley to generate interest – and a significant amount was indeed.
Seeking an advantage in the market, Jennifer utilised the extensive buyer pool that Knightsbridge has at its disposal – and a previous buyer was brought forward that made the best offer: 5 Villages Group (5VG).
Founded in London by Don Iro, a Southampton-based serial businessman, in 2023, 5VG is a leader in five industries: Logistics, Distribution, Manufacturing, Energy and Technology services.
Harnessing over 20 years’ experience working from FTSE 250 businesses to SMEs, globally, the mission of 5VG is to provide sustained value and transformation of traditional sectors.
In a win-win deal, DES was acquired by Don into the 5VG group for its growth potential. Chris and the existing DES board will remain a part of the journey.
Concluding the positive sale, Chris explained his experience dealing with Knightsbridge in an appreciated five-star review: “Everything from start to finish was smooth and easy to deal with. Very professional and friendly people to work with”.
