What the parent does.

1. Buy

   One to two new business units a year, in precision steel engineering, with a focus on the north of England.

2. Keep

   Each unit keeps its name, its plant and its managing director. Daily operations stay where they are.

3. Improve

   The corporate team works on financial, operational and ESG improvement across the group, not inside one plant.

4. Integrate

   Synergies across units: shared capability, shared customers, and a route to a horizontally integrated group.
