Supertex Furnishing
HURST were engaged by the shareholders of Supertex, a family-owned business, to assist with succession planning and leading a sale process. Supertex distributes cut length carpet, flooring and artificial grass to retailers in the North West and Midlands.
Given a recent increase in M&A activity in the flooring industry, HURST capitalised on its in-depth research and knowledge, leading a competitive process with strong interested from a number of strategic acquirers.
A premium price was achieved with an agreed sale to Headlam Group plc, which allowed certain family members to de-risk and enjoy a significant cash out, with attractive remuneration packages and incentives secured for the next generation retained within the buyer group.
A significant amount of value was added to the headline price through HURST’s negotiations around the working capital and “free cash” calculations from the outset.
