Oswald Record

Sale to Private Investors

Oswald Record was a well-established and well-managed company, commanding a 40% share of the UK Air Tools market and enjoying excellent customer loyalty, and thus repeat business.

It had negotiated sole distribution agreements with leading manufacturers to establish its position in the Power Tools market.

With a nationwide sales and distribution network, the company had established itself as a convenient, reliable supplier providing an excellent sales and after-sales service.

When Anthony Record, the CEO of Oswald Record Group, decided to sell the business his Grandfather founded in 1921, it was on the basis that a new owner would value what the company had achieved and enable it to achieve the growth he knew was its birthright.

“Thanks to the whole team at EvolutionCBS and of course especially Steve who was excellent at pressing the right buttons at the right time.”
"It has been a long journey but I am very pleased that I decided to work with Evolution to achieve a very successful exit. The team at EvolutionCBS plus the excellent support from key persons from Advanced have worked together and this true synergy has been outstanding and most rewarding emotionally as well as financially."
"I’m truly delighted, the team has done a great job and have been a pleasure to work with throughout, sincerest thanks to them all. Thank you again for all your hard work in making the deal happen, I couldn’t be happier with Clanwilliam."
