Translink Corporate Finance BHP, based in the UK, acted as the exclusive advisor to the shareholders of EPMS Supplies on the sale to the management team.

BHP LLP has advised EPMS for more than a decade, providing a range of accountancy, audit, and taxation advisory services to support the company in its growth.

Shawbrook funded the transaction providing a flexible funding solution to facilitate the deal.

The company operates nationwide from three strategically located sites across the UK and has experienced a strong period of recent growth under the stewardship of former Managing Director and majority owner Don Blair who has directed the business since its inception.

“This deal is a great example of the resilient Yorkshire business community; EPMS has demonstrated robust growth since the pandemic and is a great platform for the management team to continue driving the business forward and achieve further success,” said Will Holmes, Director at Translink Corporate Finance, BHP.

“I am absolutely delighted that the company will carry on developing with the existing loyal staff and that the transaction will see the management team, led by Kevin Earles and Christopher Hemingway, take ownership of the company moving forwards,” concluded Don Blair, Managing Director and Majority owner of EPMS Supplies.
