KBS hits the target with Arrow sale

Arrow Security Shutters has been sold to a buyer making its second acquisition through KBS Corporate in less than 15 months.

Based just outside Bolton, Arrow commenced trading in 1991 and is a leading fitter and repairer of roller shutters and industrial doors.

Working with clients across the construction, retail, industrial and commercial sectors, Arrow has enjoyed lengthy associations with Travis Perkins, Wickes and Toolstation among others.

The company’s service offering extends to driveway gates, car park barriers and shopfronts, with repairs provided on a national scale via a team of engineers stationed throughout the UK.

Advised upon by Steve Alcock, KBS Corporate Deal Executive, the transaction was instructed to facilitate the retirement of Andrew Burke, Arrow’s Managing Director.

After the opportunity attracted healthy interest, the successful offer was made by Blount Shutters, an Essex-based independent industrial door supplier which acquired Zenith Doors through KBS in May 2023.

“The client could see the growth potential of being taken over by Blount and I wish them all the very best for the future,” said Steve Alcock.

Steve also thanked Daniel Calderbank, KBS Corporate Document Writer, for his work in producing the marketing materials for the opportunity, and Adam Gilbert of AG Corporate Law for legal services provided.
