CWO Management Buy Out

CWO Ltd has successfully concluded a Management Buy Out from Geoffrey Osborne Ltd, which was established from the 1st of October 2006.

CWO Ltd has been established for over 40 years, the last 15 years of which have been a subsidiary of the Osborne Group. A recent strategic review arrived at the mutually agreed conclusion that CWO's stonemasonry activities were largely separate from Osborne's core business, that it would be more beneficial to both companies to pursue their objectives independently.

CWO is committed to long-term client relationships based on responsiveness, consultancy expertise, quality, service and value for money and look forward to the future with confidence in the knowledge that we are privileged to have such a discerning clientele that appreciate the skill and commitment of our workforce.

There is a strong ongoing commitment from both companies to co-operate on future contracts where CWO's stone expertise compliments the Osborne construction business.

Osborne Chief Executive Andrew Osborne said: "My late father acquired CWO 15 years ago and since then it has been transformed into a specialist stonemasonry business that offers a complete service from technical consultancy and design through to manufacture and construction. We are proud of CWO and we are delighted that the management team is now able to take the business forward as an independent entity. We look forward to opportunities for collaboration with CWO on future projects."
