A Blackpool business sold to an international operator
Mark Mills OBE DL advised on the very successful sale of Blackpool-based Premier LPG Limited to US operator UGI in July 2019.
UGI Corporation acquired Premier LPG through its international LPG business, which operates in the UK as AvantiGas. The acquisition formed part of UGI’s expansion in the UK LPG market.
Looking beyond the domestic buyer market
The sale illustrates how a UK business can attract an established overseas operator. When considering a sale, identifying potential buyers with a strategic reason to acquire the business can widen the options available to its owners.
Premier LPG adds energy-sector and international trade-sale experience to Mark’s work advising owners across the UK.
