Vulcan Industries plc
("Vulcan" or the "Company")
Disposal of M&G Olympic Products Limited
Vulcan Industries plc (AQSE: VULC) is pleased to announce that it has disposed
of the entire share capital of M&G Olympic Products Ltd ("MGO") to OJT11 LTD.
Disposal rationale
MGO specialises in the design, manufacture, and installation of custom-built
architectural metalwork. Since its acquisition in 2019, MGO has sought to
evolve its quality fabrication activities in turnkey project delivery within
larger construction projects. Whilst MGO has contributed to award winning
projects, following the initial COVID lockdowns the business faltered in
picking up from schemes that had enforced interruptions, incurring losses on a
number of its larger projects. With the recent acquisition of Aftech Limited
("Aftech"), the Company is seeking to focus its activities on the design and
fabrication of bespoke product and to withdraw from providing complete
solutions to the construction sector.
In the interim accounts to 30 September 2021 MGO had net liabilities of £
825,000. Consideration from the disposal is £1 and its disposal will improve
the Group balance sheet of Vulcan Industries plc.
Ian Tordoff, Executive Chairman, "Together with many smaller suppliers to the
major construction companies, MGO struggled to balance the cash flow
fluctuations across multiple large projects which placed strain on both its
processes and its workforce. The disposal will enable Aftech to focus on
building our bespoke fabrication business."
