We have facilitated the sale of JB Kind, a leading door distributor based in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire. The company’s business and trade assets have been acquired by an investment group with significant experience in manufacturing and distribution, ensuring continued operations and future investment.

The business had faced a challenging period prior to the sale, and the acquisition provides an opportunity for stability and restructuring under new leadership.

The acquisition ensures that JB Kind’s long-standing customer base will continue to be served while providing a platform for investment and operational improvements under the new owners.

Simon Johnson, Commercial Director at JB Kind, said:
“Our focus remains on serving our customers, and we look forward to working with the new ownership team to maintain the strong relationships we have built over the years. While the business has faced challenges, we are hopeful that this transition will provide the stability and resources needed to move forward.”

The new owners have also shared their perspective, stating:
“We recognise the history and reputation of JB Kind and are committed to ensuring its continued presence in the market. Our priority is to support the existing team and provide the necessary investment to strengthen the business for the future.”

We acted as advisors in the transaction, working to find a suitable buyer and ensure a structured transition.

Richard Tonks, our Head of Advisory Services, said:
“JB Kind is a well-known name in the sector, and while the business has encountered difficulties, this acquisition ensures continuity for employees and customers. The new ownership group has the experience and resources to take JB Kind forward, and we are pleased to have played a role in facilitating this outcome.”

The sale marks a new phase for JB Kind, with a focus on business continuity and long-term sustainability under new leadership.
