What this business does
Primary activity: SIC 35110
Sector: Electricity, gas & energy
Investor take
PursueActive trading company. Family succession underway — not a classic acquisition target.
Opportunity 78/100 (strong), bankability 85/100. Same-surname younger director in place — likely family handover, not open to sale. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (65/100).
🏦
Refinance opportunity
3 live charges · oldest 10.6y
85/100
ready
Refinance conversation should be productive — structure clean and timing right.
- · Oldest live charge is 10.6 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
- · Legal-friction score 15/100 — clean.

Owner dependency
73/100
High — earn-out structure requiredMaterial founder dependency. Consider a 2-3 year earn-out and build in a handover plan before completion.
FACTORS
- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 77 — succession pressure is live.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
Succession & seller-readiness
33/100
Weak signalLimited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
SIGNALS
- primaryFamily succession underway: Not a takeover target — BENNETT, Oliver Roy (same surname) appointed 2024-01-18. Pattern consistent with intra-family handover.
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 77 years old. Natural succession window is now.
- secondary12+ year tenure: Director in role 13 years.
- supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
