Buyers seeking precision engineering & cnc businesses in the UK

Aerospace, defence, medical, motorsport and specialist industrial customers. Each mandate page sets out the acquirer's preferred end-market mix.

AS9100 for aerospace and defence, ISO 13485 for medical, ISO 9001 as the baseline. NADCAP endorsements for specialist processes are valued where relevant.

Very seriously. Skilled programmers, setters and inspectors are hard to replace, so buyers typically require retention plans and, where appropriate, deferred consideration linked to key-person continuity.

Each requirement states its own target turnover band, and many also set out profitability expectations, deal structure and the acquirer's funding position. Ranges run from owner-managed businesses through to established groups, so the individual mandate page is always the definitive statement of what that buyer will consider.

Nothing is published about your business. You read the acquirer's stated requirement, then write to our team quoting the mandate reference with a brief outline of your company. We review the fit and, where it is credible, make a discreet introduction. If you decide not to proceed, no trace of the approach is left.

Every acquirer has submitted a written mandate covering investment criteria, funding position, decision process and prior acquisition experience. Our team reviews each submission before publication, and requirements without a defined thesis or a credible route to completion are declined.
