Cheshire-based business Bluebell Fitted Furniture, a provider of bespoke furniture, has completed a management buyout, as it looks to continue to build its long-established brand and move to its next phase of growth.
Established in 1992 by Alison and Mike Reuben, Bluebell Fitted Furniture manufactures and supplies both consumer and business clients with fitted furniture solutions for the bedroom, kitchen, home study and media rooms.
The firm has been acquired by James Ordsmith and Stephen Capel, who Alison and Mike have mentored as their ‘adopted sons’ for many years in the business. Continuing on at the business as non-executive directors, Alison and Mike will maintain an active role in overseeing the day-to-day running of the business.
Commercial law firm Kuits provided legal advice across its corporate, commercial property and employment teams. Steven Gordon, of Smg-Cf advised Mike and Alison Reuben, while accountancy firm JS advised the incumbent management team.
Mike and Alison comment: “We’re delighted to see James and Stephen take over the business as they have both held key roles and played such an important part in it for so many years. We are not stepping away completely as we take on our new roles as non-executive directors and, as always, customer service remains our top priority.”
