Springboard Corporate Finance is delighted to announce that it has advised on the management buy-out of Telford-based McPhillips Holdings Limited.
About the deal
McPhillips provides award winning civil engineering and building solutions throughout the Midlands, North West and Wales. The business has an impressive client base of blue chip customers such as Taylor Wimpey, Morris Homes, Bellway Homes, Telford and Wrekin Council and The Highways Agency. Established in 1964, McPhillips has a highly skilled and loyal workforce of over 250 employees and generates revenues in excess of £40 million per annum.
The business has undergone a management buy out which will allow joint Managing Directors Peter and Nicholas McPhillips to retire from the business. The Management team will now be led by Paul Inions, who joined McPhillips as a trainee quantity surveyor 27 years ago. He commented “The values upon which the business was founded by the McPhillips family will be continue to be promoted. With a buoyant order book and new opportunities ahead, we are looking forward with confidence to a bright future.”
How we made a difference

Throughout what was a huge step into the unknown for us all, vendors included, Springboard provided us with professional guidance and direction. I’m sure the opportunity to represent both parties presented Springboard with a little difficulty at times but the combined will for the business to succeed is obvious to all.
