FOLLOWING a Management Buyout (MBO), a new team has taken the helm at Brighouse-based Siddall and Hilton Products Ltd, in the form of holding company, Blackfish Enterprises Ltd.

Siddall and Hilton Products Limited is the UK’s leading producer of top quality welded steel mesh high-security, general fencing and industrial mesh panels.

With a 53-strong team at its West Yorkshire headquarters, its products are exported to Europe and Ireland. The company will continue to trade under the long-established name of Siddall & Hilton Products Ltd.

Ian Thurley, chief executive of the company, said: “Our focus will be on improving long-term sustainability through more employee engagement and involvement, creating a 'one team' ethos which builds on the loyalty, dedication and commitment already demonstrated by our staff.”

“This latest investment further strengthens the business, enabling us to work towards our ambition of being the most efficient, profitable and environmentally friendly wire mesh producer in Europe as well as being an outstanding local employer.”
