We advised on the sale of an East Anglian roofing and property services business

Aspect Group is a leading regional Tier 1 provider in East Anglia, headquartered in Wymondham and serving public sector, commercial, education and residential clients with services ranging from pitched and flat roofing to integrated property services and low-carbon technologies.

Larking Gowen advised on the transaction, supporting the shareholders throughout the sale of Aspect Group to Cardo Group. The transaction strengthens Cardo’s regional coverage and establishes a local foothold in the East of England, while supporting Aspect’s continued growth and expansion across the region.

Our role:

• Planning for sale services and business growth advisory 2 years prior to sale
• Preparing sales documentation
• Identifying and confidentially approaching potential buyers
• Deal negotiations
• Coordination of due diligence enquiries
• Advising on financial and tax elements of the legal contracts and wider transaction
• Proactive deal management throughout

Key highlight:

Identifying a strategically and culturally aligned buyer that met the differing objectives of the shareholders, while providing Aspect with a strong platform for continued growth as part of Cardo.

Richard Colley and Matthew Dillon, Directors and Shareholders of Aspect Group Holdings, said:

"We're delighted to have got to this stage and really appreciate all the support, advice and hard work from the whole Larking Gowen team along the way.

You've all played a huge part in getting us to such a positive outcome, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through the process."
