Flint Bishop’s corporate finance team in Derby has advised the shareholders of Wear & Spillage Supplies Limited (WSS) on its sale to Materials Handling Products (MHP), marking a significant milestone in the development of both companies.

Swadlincote-based MHP is one of the leading providers of rubber and polyurethane screen media, wear-resistant linings, impact protection, and spillage control equipment to the minerals extraction, processing, and waste and recycling industries.

Mark Wilcock, corporate and finance senior associate at Flint Bishop, who led on the legal advice for the shareholders of WSS said:

“I was delighted to support and advise the shareholders on the sale of their Company which they had started from scratch in 2010 and to have played my part in a huge milestone in their journey. I have no doubt that the Company will go from strength to strength under MHP’s ownership.”

Vicky and Andrew Walker, added:

“We were recommended Mark at Flint Bishop to handle the legal side of selling our business by our accountant, from the first introduction we knew we were in safe hands. It has been an emotional journey selling the business we started 14 years ago. With Mark’s advice & guidance, we have achieved our exit plan. We cannot recommend Flint Bishop highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any other legal matters.”
