Hankinson Painting Group are delighted to announce that they have completed the acquisition of the trade and assets of E&P Painting Contractors Limited of Ellesmere Port and has incorporated them into EP Painting Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of Roy Hankinson (Holdings) Limited.
The Senior Management, office and site staff all transferred to the new Company. In particular, we are delighted to welcome Arthur Ellis, Nigel Owen and Anthony Prior who bring with them substantial experience in the Painting Contracting Industry.
The acquisition dovetails perfectly with our long term strategy and brings exposure into markets for the Hankinson Painting Group in Rail, Storage Tanks, Renewable Energy and Power Generation and new services with a range of specialist services and coatings. They also have a factory facility for the preparation and coating of steel and steel structures which also adds a new dimension to the Group activities with services such as blasting cleaning, pipe linings, pipe wrappings and flame metal spraying.
There are many shared values within the two Organisations including an unrelenting commitment to quality and safety that will long continue. This is another exciting milestone in the development of the Hankinson Painting Group and consolidates our position as one of the Premier Painting Groups in the United Kingdom.
Stephen Hankinson, Group Chief Executive of Hankinson Painting Group said “This transaction further expands both our service portfolio and the sectors we will operate in. Going forward the acquisition consolidates the Hankinson Painting Group position as one of the leading Painting Groups in the UK and I am very excited about the future opportunities”.
