In a deal led by Reading based M&A Advisors EvolutionCBS, Earnshaw Engineering, a specialist design-led metal fabrication company, has been acquired by TJD Investments.

Founded in 1999, Earnshaw Engineering is a Hampshire-based metal fabrication company with a long established reputation for delivering high quality, high precision and technically challenging solutions for contemporary commercial building designs. The company’s extensive industry experience and vast technical ability has seen it become a trusted and highly-valued sub-contractor to many major construction companies across the UK.

TJD Investments are a consortia of investors with particular experience and expertise within the engineering, logistics, marketing and finance sectors. As the new owners of Earnshaw Engineering, they will each work within the business to develop and expand the company as it enters its next phase of growth.

EvolutionCBS Client Director, Mike Whittle, led the deal and commented: “It has been my pleasure to work with such professional, well organised clients and go on this journey with them. From the outset Dave & Lisa were committed to finding the right acquirer for their business and it is always pleasing to find the people and the right deal for both my client and the longevity of Earnshaw Engineering.”  

Lisa and Dave Bell, Earnshaw Engineering, are retiring from the business and commented: “From day one the support, knowledge and expertise that EvolutionCBS provided us with was a revelation. Without the impressive IM, introductory meetings, patience, eloquence and negotiating skills of our dedicated Client Director, Mike Whittle, together with his team that provided information throughout the whole process; we would have never completed our sale. We are truly thankful to EvolutionCBS and can’t recommend them highly enough!”
