Project Metal case study - Sale of Allied Copper Alloys Limited to Lebronze Alloys.

Ballards worked with Aca (Midlands) Holdings Limited and owner Chris Wickett on the sale of Allied Copper Alloys Limited to Lebronze alloys. Allied Copper Alloys is a market leading independent UK supplier of stainless steel and copper alloy strip products based in the West Midlands. Lebronze is a French headquartered business backed by private equity from Astorg, and Allied Copper is part of its rapid global expansion plans. Ballards was engaged as lead advisor, to manage the sale process from start to finish.

Work completed

 Ballards corporate finance team worked with the vendor to produce a teaser document, marketed the business through multiple channels, selected buyers for management meetings, and negotiated offers. Ballards then handled the financial and tax due diligence process, working closely with HCR Law to ensure a smooth and efficient process. RESULTS Ballards used a wide range of its service lines to defend value for the vendor throughout the due diligence and SPA negotiation process. Being able to pull on experts from across a full service accountancy firm sets Ballards apart from boutique corporate finance houses. This is invaluable when deep knowledge, responsiveness, and speed are key to successful transactions. ‍
