Deal
The family-owned business J F Beale Ltd has been trading for over 30 years but owners Steven and Jenny Beale decided the time was right to find a buyer and retire.
The business has been sold to Anglesey-based independent builders merchant Huws Gray, which now has a total of 46 trading sites across the UK.
Our Corporate & Finance team advised J F Beale on the sale of their family business and a spokesperson for the team commented on the business sale:
“We guided Steve and Jen through the most appropriate transaction structure and, combined with our transparent approach to due diligence and our pragmatic negotiation style, we managed to complete in a very short space of time. The business sale went particularly well as a strong relationship with the buyer was developed from the outset, which helped massively during negotiations.”
Steven Beale added:
“Both Jenny and I were most impressed with Flint Bishop and their professional and prompt dealing with the sale of our company. We had unlimited access their Corporate & Finance team and we cannot speak highly enough of the support given.”
