Widney Pressings
Widney plc announced following receipt of shareholder approval on 20 April 2007,
the sale of the share capital of Widney Pressings Limited ("Pressings") for #1.4
million plus the assumption of debt and the sale of surplus plant and machinery
at Northampton for #750,000.
Whilst Pressings had been an excellent acquisition, the priority at the time was
to reduce Group indebtedness. Following completion of the sale of two freehold
properties for #7 million, the Group is debt free apart from a small working
capital facility.
Despite extensive negotiations to safeguard the interests of employees and
customers, the purchaser was unable to provide adequate assurances in respect of
the funding of the acquisition. As a result, Pressings will remain a core part
of the Widney Group and develop new business in automotive presswork and
construction equipment components.
