. tions have allowed the company to vertically integrate production and distribution ele­ ments in-house.. .. . - . ■ • . David Sharpe of Pierce Corporate Fi­


nance, Blackburn, led the advisory team which included legal 'advice from Jane Hay-


■ mes of Napthens solicitors. . . . Bill Collins said: “This acquisition is an-


: other key one for Thornber and opens up worldwide export and distribution chan-


. nels for the company. I would like to thank . the acquisition team and in particular Neil


. Mooney for his assistance with this transac­ tion.”


• David Sharpe of Pierce added: “The ac- ‘ quisition of Busby and Busby will not only save a number of jobs, important in this historic trade, but is of strategic importance

; key markets, and further enhances the of­ fering of the company.”
