Building a successful future

BHP Corporate Finance is delighted to announce that it has acted as advisors to the shareholders of EPMS Supplies Limited on their management buyout.

Established over 30 years ago, EPMS Supplies Limited provides a bespoke service to the construction sector and is the industry’s longest serving independent stockist of specialist building material products.

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.

BHP LLP have advised EPMS for over a decade, providing a range of accountancy, audit, and taxation advisory services to support the company in its recent growth. A team from BHP Corporate Finance led by Will Holmes, Hamish Morrison and Luke Harrower advised the shareholders on the disposal to the management team.

Will Holmes said: “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.”

Don Blair said: “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.
