Blacks Corporate Successfully Completes Sale of Northants Fluid Power

Blacks Corporate, one of the UK’s leading names in business sales, is proud to confirm the successful sale of Northants Fluid Power, a well-established hydraulic and pneumatic systems specialist based in Northamptonshire.

Northants Fluid Power has been a trusted name in the sector since 2004, delivering tailored solutions across a wide range of industries including manufacturing, construction, agriculture, transport, and engineering. The business provided a full end-to-end service—covering component supply, installation, maintenance, and emergency repairs for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Built on technical expertise, swift response times, and a customer-first mindset, Northants Fluid Power enjoyed consistent growth, repeat custom, and an excellent trading record. With a highly skilled engineering team and longstanding client relationships, the business offered a compelling proposition for trade acquirers and investors alike.

When the owner made the decision to sell, they appointed Blacks Corporate to manage the process and find the right buyer. The sale was led by Joanne Booth, one of the experienced sales negotiators at Blacks Corporate, who personally oversaw the transaction from launch through to completion.

“Northants Fluid Power was a brilliant business with strong fundamentals – a real credit to the seller. From day one, we knew that the business had been in the hands of another broker for 12 months with no success but we felt confident that by utilising our processes at Blacks Business Brokers this would attract serious interest. Our role at Blacks Business Brokers was to package that story correctly, qualify every buyer properly, and deliver a clean, efficient deal. That’s exactly what we did.”
— Joanne Booth, Blacks Corporate

The owner’s primary goals were simple: a smooth transition, a fair valuation, and a buyer who understood the technical nature of the business. Working alongside the wider team at Blacks Corporate, Joanne Booth developed a custom marketing campaign that combined national exposure with targeted outreach to trade buyers operating in the engineering and industrial space.

As with all client instructions at Blacks Corporate, the business was presented confidentially and professionally—complete with a tailored Information Memorandum, carefully vetted financials, and buyer screening protocols. These steps ensured that only serious, qualified acquirers made it through to the negotiation stage.

The result was a strong level of interest from trade and private buyers alike. The eventual purchaser, an expanding engineering group, recognised the strategic value of Northants Fluid Power and moved swiftly to secure the opportunity. The match was ideal, with the buyer’s existing operations perfectly complementing the services and client base already in place at Northants Fluid Power.

From instruction to completion, the deal is a shining example of what can be achieved through a structured, broker-led sales process. Blacks Corporate delivered on the seller’s brief and ensured both parties walked away with confidence and clarity.

This sale further strengthens the track record of Blacks Business Brokers in the fluid power, mechanical engineering, and industrial services sectors—areas where the firm continues to see robust buyer demand.

“We’re seeing a clear appetite for profitable, well-run technical businesses. Whether you’re in hydraulics, electrical engineering, or specialist maintenance—there’s capital and interest out there. The key is having the right team in place to present your business correctly and drive momentum. That’s what we do at Blacks Business Brokers.”
