Meet Daniel Beaumont, a private investor with a track-record of overcoming the many hurdles which often prevent owners from being able to sell their businesses. He has experience in the manufacturing, engineering, wholesale and service industries and has completed four acquisitions of manufacturing companies since 2020 - three of which enabled the owners to retire.
Now, he is keen to purchase more UK businesses with turnovers between £1.5m - £5m.
Daniel started his career as a Chartered Accountant working in Management Consulting and Transaction Services for various clients in different sectors. He then moved into his family’s textile business before leading the sale of the business in 2017. Since 2020 he had been dedicated to buying businesses and facilitating successful exits for business owners.
Daniel’s second business buy-out saw him purchase Fairgrieve Compression Moulding in Washington, Tyne & Wear, in April 2021. A family-run business which had lost momentum, Daniel has invested heavily in a complete refurbishment of the factory, and by employing new, experienced management. The business is now profitable and was named North East Small Business of the Year in September 2023.
We are extremely proud of our long association with Europe’s Market leader Weru. Our solid relationship spans over three decades, and we have always shared the same ethos that the finest German quality products deserve a similar unrivalled approach to installation and customer service. With over eighteen thousand installations from the small Terrace to multi-million-pound luxury homes and commercial developments.
Daniel acquired Willsden Steel in October 2024. External management were recruited to enable the two owners to exit the business which they had themselves acquired over twenty years previously. Willsden is a stockholder of steel based just south of York and the plans are to continue running this profitable business as successfully as it has been for the previous thirty plus years.
