Advising the owners of Ramtech on their sale to Halma Plc

Andy Hicks said: “It is the right time for Ramtech to enter its next phase of expansion and achieve truly global growth. The investment and access to Halma’s expertise and global network are all essential ingredients in helping the company achieve this. Our ‘customer-first’ approach will remain, and we don’t see that passion for our customers changing in any way.”

Mark Rutherford commented: “We are delighted to have been involved in transitioning Ramtech into the next phase of its development. Gateley acted for Andy Hicks and his colleague, Tony McMichael when they bought the business in a management buy-out in 2005 and we have looked after the Company’s legal affairs ever since. This is an exciting opportunity for everyone involved in the Company.”

Andy Hicks commented: “Tony and I have worked with Gateley for 16 years since our MBO of the business in 2005. Throughout that time they have acted for us on a complete range of legal matters including supporting us as we started to export our products, helping us purchase our first premises in Nottingham, helping us to react quickly to recent COVID challenges and finally helping us to sell our business to Halma.  They have been there to support and guide us through both the good and challenging times that every business owner faces. We have always found their advice practical and commercially focused and we have always felt we are dealing with professionals who understand our business and really understand what we are trying to achieve.”
