JLF is pleased to announce that it has advised the management team of Potts Print (UK) Limited, one of the largest independently owned printing companies in the UK, on its £8 million management buyout.
Founded over 130 years ago, the Company has built a longstanding reputation for quality and innovation within the UK printing sector. The transaction sees the business transition from sellers Michael and Clare Sandford-Couch to the incumbent management team: Shaun Johnson, Michael Johnson, Mark Devine, Daniel Tobin, Stephanie Taylor, Ian White, David Clasper and Rebecca Owen.
JLF mobilised a deals team comprising Elise Hunter, Associate Solicitor, and Adam Cassidy, Associate Paralegal, with strategic oversight from M&A expert Jabad Jaigirdar. The JLF team worked closely alongside top 10 UK accountancy firm S&W in advising on the tax structuring elements of the transaction, ensuring a coordinated and technically robust approach throughout.
Jabad Jaigirdar, Senior Partner at JLF, commented: “Advising on the buyout of a business with over a century of trading history is both a privilege and a responsibility. This transaction required careful structuring, rigorous execution and absolute alignment between legal and tax strategy.
“Our reputation is built on delivering complex deals with clarity, precision and professionalism — and this mandate was no exception.”
The £8m buyout positions the Company for its next phase of growth under the stewardship of its experienced leadership team, supported by advisers recognised for their expertise and professionalism in delivering complex corporate transactions.
