Project Mercury

UK Engineering Acquisitions: Active Mandate for Bolt-On Targets

A cash- and asset-rich international group (c. $1bn revenue) is executing a UK buy-and-build in specialist and general engineering. We are mandated to source up to four bolt-on acquisitions to expand capacity, capability and customer coverage.

Target profile

  • Revenue: ~£5m run-rate. Profitable with stable gross margins and positive cash generation.

  • Capabilities: precision machining (CNC milling/turning), fabrication (laser, press-brake, coded welding), assembly (electro-mechanical), MRO/field service.

  • Customers & sectors: OEMs and Tier-1/Tier-2 supply chains across industrials (e.g., energy, aerospace, defence, rail, food & drink, process).

  • Contracts: sticky revenue—framework agreements, LTAs, call-off or service contracts; healthy order book.

  • Quality & compliance: ISO 9001 (and relevant sector standards), robust HSE, traceability, documented processes, MRP/ERP in place.

(Examples above are indicative; we will assess any complementary niche engineering business meeting the revenue range.)

Why this buyer

  • Speed and certainty: streamlined due diligence, focused data requests, proven integration playbook.

  • Capital support: working capital, capex for capacity upgrades (machines, tooling, automation), and cross-selling via the group customer base.

  • Operational synergy: procurement leverage, shared QA, common systems, and load balancing across sites.

Deal structures considered

  • 100% share sale (cash on completion).

  • MBO/MBI support where appropriate.

  • Earn-out, deferred consideration or minority rollover—case by case.

Process at a glance

  • Confidential discussion → Heads of Terms → confirmatory financial/legal/QHSE diligence → completion → integration with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.

UK Industrial Cleaning and Food Hygiene Services

Achieve Corporation: Navigating the Sale of a Premier UK Industrial Cleaning and Food Hygiene Services Company

In the intricate sector of industrial cleaning and food hygiene services, facilitating a successful business sale requires not only profound sector knowledge but also a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of the industry. Achieve Corporation’s recent success in managing the sale of Partners in Hygiene Ltd, a leader in UK Industrial Cleaning and Food Hygiene Services, stands as a testament to our expertise and strategic capabilities in this specialised field.

Client Spotlight: Partners in Hygiene Ltd. Our client, Partners in Hygiene Ltd, has established itself as a forerunner in the UK’s industrial cleaning and food hygiene sector. Tasked with the disposal of the business to an appropriate buyer, the challenge was to find a partner that not only aligned financially but also shared the company’s management culture and ethos.

Our Role: Strategic Market Assessment and Buyer Engagement. Our role was comprehensive and multi-faceted. We commenced with an in-depth review of the market opportunities and a careful benchmarking of the possible share price, ensuring that our client’s business was valued accurately and attractively. Identifying and engaging the right buyers was pivotal. Our focus was on sourcing buyers whose management style and ethos mirrored that of our client, culminating in the generation of competitive sealed bids. A significant part of our mandate was to assist a German-based buyer, Leadec Group, in their first acquisition in the UK division, guiding them meticulously through the process.

Result: A Strategic and Profitable Sale The culmination of our efforts was the successful sale of Partners in Hygiene Ltd to Leadec Group, a non-trade buyer. This sale was not just a transaction but a strategic alignment, bringing together two entities that shared a vision for excellence in the industrial cleaning and food hygiene space. Leadec Group, with its impressive portfolio of 20,000 employees, 300 locations, and sales amounting to 900 million euros, was the ideal match, reflecting the high value and market position of our client.

Achieve Corporation: Your Trusted Advisor in Business Sales.. This project is a prime example of Achieve Corporation’s capability to facilitate high-calibre sales in specialised industries. Our approach is characterised by thorough market analysis, strategic buyer sourcing, and a commitment to aligning with our client’s culture and ethos, ensuring transactions that are not only successful but also strategically beneficial.

In summary, Achieve Corporation stands as an authoritative figure in the management and execution of business sales in the industrial cleaning and food hygiene sector. Our success in the sale of Partners in Hygiene Ltd underscores our expertise in handling complex transactions, delivering results that surpass client expectations and set new benchmarks in the industry.

Achieve Corporation, a leading specialist in business sales and strategic transitions, is proud to announce that we have successfully facilitated the business sold transaction of Masteel Ltd, a distinguished global provider of premium quality steels. Our comprehensive approach prioritizes inclusivity, strategic alignment, and cultural synergy, essential elements for achieving exceptional outcomes in complex business sales.

Strategic Sale with a Commitment to Cultural Alignment:

When Masteel Ltd approached Achieve Corporation for assistance in managing their trade sale, our team recognized immediately that success would require more than a purely transactional approach.

This inclusive strategy was fundamental in supporting a smooth transition and sustained operational excellence following the completion of the sale.

Auction Management with Precision and Transparency:

Achieve Corporation proactively led every stage of the sale through a structured auction process. Rather than passively managing bids, our expert team actively fostered an environment of competitive fairness and transparency, ensuring all interested buyers had equal opportunities to engage. We meticulously managed the process, ensuring clarity, openness, and effective communication at every stage. This methodical and active oversight was instrumental in achieving optimum market valuation and securing an advantageous transaction outcome for Masteel Ltd.

Delivering Measurable Results and Ongoing Support:

The successful business sold transaction culminated in a carefully structured share sale that allowed Masteel Ltd’s shareholders to exit smoothly within six months post-completion. Our direct and proactive involvement ensured that transitional risks were minimized, paving the way for continued growth and stability. Additionally, Achieve Corporation extended its support by successfully headhunting and appointing a new financial controller aligned with the vision and strategic objectives of the new owners. This reinforced continuity, stability, and ongoing success, further validating the efficacy and comprehensiveness of our approach.

Your Strategic Partner in Business Transitions:

At Achieve Corporation, we understand that selling a business involves more than just financial exchange; it demands strategic vision, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to inclusivity. Our successful transaction with Masteel Ltd underscores our capability to align strategic objectives seamlessly with cultural continuity.
