Carl Roberts of New Engineering said: “We are thrilled to be able to keep over 175 people in employment and help bolster a respected company. The advice and support provided by Ed Judge at Keystone Law was pragmatic and helped us get the deal over the line.”

Judge said: “I was delighted to have helped secure the purchase of this highly regarded engineering business and allow over 170 people keep their jobs. I look forward to seeing the business prosper.”
