UK - Endless acquires Lancashire Chemical Works

Endless has acquired Lancashire Chemical Works Ltd (LCW), for an undisclosed sum, in a management buy-in deal led by Richard Sykes. The transaction represents an exit for the family shareholders. Incoming managing director Sykes had been looking at the opportunity for some time and cited the innovation shown by Endless in developing a funding structure as key to it winning the deal. The acquisition of LCW represents the eleventh deal by Endless during 2007.
