Ramsdens acted on behalf of the sellers of Brighouse based Brunswick Tooling Limited, Paul Briggs and John Furness, in their sale of the company.
Paul worked in the business since 1965. In 1999 when the then owner of the business decided it was time to retire, Paul teamed up with John to buy it. The two had met while at Huddersfield Technical College when they were both apprentices.
During their time in the business they have designed and manufactured tools for a wide range of customers, including a number of blue chip companies. The company employs over 30 people.
Paul and John commented on the sale: “We are both are looking forward to retirement, and to the purchaser developing and expanding what is a successful engineering business which has been built with the help and support of a very loyal workforce.”
Adam Cockroft of Ramsdens, one of the team of solicitors at Ramsdens who dealt with the sale said “it was a pleasure to act for John and Paul who together have expanded and maintained a successful modern business over the years.”
