Irwin Mitchell Advises On Latest Deal
Global cold rolled steel manufacturer, Hadley Group, has completed the acquisition of Hadley Steel Framing Ltd (HSF).
Hadley Group originally acquired a 50% stake in Hadley Steel Framing Ltd (HSF) 10 years ago, supporting the growth of the company by manufacturing and delivering its cold rolled steel framing products.
This latest development in HSF’s ownership means it will be business as usual with no changes to the manufacturing or delivery aspects of the business. It will continue to operate as a stand-alone business but will have the resources of the wider Hadley Group available for support.
HSF is a future market leader in steel framing design, assembly and installation with core strengths in its bolted system certified to 12 storeys. The company’s expert technical, structural and design ability ensures it can provide a single solution from concept to completion on building projects in all sectors, both on site and off site.
Hadley Group operates across the globe, providing a significant breadth of product solutions across a diverse market. It has manufacturing facilities in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and more than 600 employees worldwide.
Ben Towe, Group Managing Director at Hadley Group, said: “We view the acquisition of HSF as highly complementary to our other current construction product offerings and intend to support them as they continue their progression in the markets they serve.
“Architects, specifiers and contractors trust HSF to deliver industry standard and bespoke construction solutions on a world stage and we are delighted to confirm the addition of HSF into the Hadley Group.”
Corporate partner at national law firm Irwin Mitchell, Chris Rawstron, along with solicitor Stephen Hutton, advised Hadley Group on the deal. Colleagues specialising in a number of other disciplines also provided support on the transaction.
