Owner dependency

55/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS
  • -10 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
  • +Founder age: Director aged approximately 66 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

50/100
Moderate signal

Some succession indicators present. Worth watching; approach if sector/strategy fits.

SIGNALS
  • primaryFounder aged 63+: Senior director is approximately 66. Approaching typical UK retirement age — succession thinking likely.

Red flags

1 med ·
3 director resignations in last 12 months
medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: GILLIES, Lewis Alan resigned 2025-08-20; MACGREGOR, Roy resigned 2025-08-20; MACRAE, Donald James Renwick resigned 2025-04-30
