Ventcroft Limited - a perfectly conducted deal

RSM’s corporate finance team has advised on the sale of Ventcroft Limited, a family-owned manufacturer of fire performance cables based in Runcorn, Cheshire.

The client

Ventcroft, founded in 1989 by Chairman Frank Rotheram, operates from a state-of-the-art 107,000 sq. ft facility. It supplies customers across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa through a network of specialist electrical, fire, and security product wholesalers and distributors.

Ventcroft has been acquired by NKT, a Denmark-headquartered group focused on the design, manufacture, and installation of low-medium and high-voltage cable solutions. The collaboration with NKT will further facilitate the development of new products and markets, thus enhancing future growth.

RSM’s solution

RSM’s M&A team advised the vendors. Using its deep sector knowledge to package the opportunity and identify suitable purchasers, RSM managed a discreet process and negotiated all aspects of the deal. 

Transaction team: Ian Latham and Matthew Kells.
