Transaxman Limited is acting for Accessories Components and Equipment Limited, a new company formed to acquire businesses in the engineering sector. Typically a 'stepping stone' deal may enable an owner manager planning to retire to progressively sell blocks of equity to ACE to facilitate a phased withdrawal from full time involvement. Businesses turning over £1.5 million to £3 million would be ideal candidates for this type of deal.

Ace recently announced its acquisition of GDK Engineering, based at Worcester.

We are also in touch with other experienced executives, mainly in engineering and manufacturing, who are interested in similarly structured acquisition deals.
