Working successfully with high quality, family-owned businesses.
Headpoint advised Thatcham-based Pinnock Brothers which is an independent family business with a history spanning over 150 years. It operates in Berkshire, Hampshire and the wider Thames Valley.
NWF Group plc is a specialist distributor of fuel, food and feed across the UK, headquartered in Nantwich, Cheshire and listed in London. The Fuel division, which made the acquisition, is the UK’s third-largest dedicated fuels and lubricant supplier and delivers 659m litres of fuel annually to around 107,000 customers and operates out of 33 depots.
The addition of Pinnock Brothers to NWF’s business is aligned with its strategy of consolidating the fragmented fuels market.
Headpoint had previously sold Oxfordshire-based Sweetfuels to NWF and this acquisition is highly complementary; geographically and with regards to customer profile.
Headpoint was appointed because of our track record of working successfully with high quality, family-owned businesses within the oil distribution sector, capitalising on consolidation trends within a fragmented sector.
I would like to thank Headpoint for all their help, guidance and support throughout the sale process. It has certainly been a journey and with the Headpoint team by our side, we had the courage to make it to completion.
