Our Manchester Corporate Finance team acted as advisers to the shareholders of Elite Vehicle Supplies.
The team worked with the shareholders to prepare the business for investment, and through their extensive sector expertise were able to identify Motormax as a key strategic investor. They managed negotiations and coordinated the transaction process through to completion. Under the new structure, Elite Vehicle Supplies will continue to operate under its established brand, with its existing employees remaining in place and founders Scott Forman and Jayne Forman remaining in the business as managing director and operations director respectively.
