BSN advises on Paul Mathew sale

 

BSN are delighted to have advised on the sale of Paul Mathew Transport Limited and Paul Mathew Warehousing Limited - the UK’s leading logistics and warehousing provider to the theatre and live entertainment industry.

From starting out with just one small van in 1980, Paul has spent the last 45 years building an incredible business with a reputation for service and reliability. He has grown the company to become the trusted logistics partner for many of the world’s most iconic productions — attracting strong international interest throughout the sale process.

It’s been a real privilege for us at BSN to work with Paul and his family on this journey – from the initial marketing of the business, providing strategic advice, deal structuring and hands-on support from start to finish. The team comprised of Pippa Miller-Hawkes, Phil Todd and Luke Tipper.

Always great to collaborate with Knights once again, who have provided Paul with commercial and corporate legal support for many years. Support was provided by Gareth Burge, Joe Rollins, Ellie Bryan and Rob Pettigrew.

Many thanks go to Andrew Dalglish and Claire Huxham of Ayres Bright Vickers for their accountancy support during the entire process.

Paul Mathew, Founder, said:

“I’ve spent four decades building this business, so it was a big step putting it in someone else’s hands. There were a few challenges along the way, but both BSN & Knights worked hard together to keep things on track, overall running a streamlined process and taking a good brunt of the stress. I really appreciate what the team did to get it done — it means a lot to see all those years of hard work pay off”

Massive congratulations to everyone involved!
