An interiors firm with bases in Newcastle and York has been acquired by three of its senior leadership team in a management buyout.
Ben Johnson Ltd, which works with firms to design and fit out office spaces, operates across the North East and Yorkshire from its own offices at Hoults Yard in Newcastle and Middlethorpe Business Park near York. Emma Dodsley, Lee Fleming and Matthew Day have become equal shareholders in the company following a deal for an undisclosed sum.
The trio will continue their respective roles in sales and marketing, finance and operations and delivery. The firm has said the deal is part of a planned succession strategy which also included the sale of Ben Johnson's Technology Managed Print Services business in 2018, and its Workplace Supplies business in 2019.
