Prettys advises on sale of Dynamic Fluid Solutions to Vestum AB (publ)

Prettys Solicitors is delighted to have advised on the sale of Dynamic Fluid Solutions Ltd to Vestum AB (publ), a Swedish-based group specialising in infrastructure services and products, marking an exciting new chapter for the business and its founders, Ben Buckmaster and Luke Steward.

This transaction represents a significant milestone for Dynamic Fluid Solutions, a market leading specialist pump and associated equipment provider, which now joins Vestum’s Flow Technology division alongside other leading industry specialists within its group such as Pump Supplies Ltd.

Prettys acted for the seller, providing a multi-disciplinary approach that brought together expertise from across the firm. The transaction was led by Partner, Dan Billson, and supported by our corporate, employment, commercial property and data protection teams, including Ian Waine, Zoe Zhang, Vanessa Bell, Aimee Riley, and Rebecca Cleal.

Thanks to strong collaboration both internally and with external advisors, the deal was completed efficiently and within a tight timeframe, ensuring a smooth process and positive outcome for all parties involved.

Ben Buckmaster and Luke Steward from Dynamic Fluid Solutions said “We’d like to express our sincere thanks to the Prettys team, led by Dan, and Larking Gowen’s Corporate Finance team, led by Jack, for their outstanding support throughout the sale of our business. Both teams were not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also a real pleasure to work with.

They guided us through the process with clarity and calm, while helping to build a positive and constructive relationship with the buyer. The teams dovetailed extremely well, working seamlessly together to make the transaction as smooth and efficient as possible. Their dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for us were evident throughout.

We would absolutely work with them again in the future, and couldn’t recommend them more highly to any business going through the sale process.”

Prettys worked closely with Jack Minns and the Corporate Finance team at Larking Gowen, whose proactive and pragmatic approach contributed to the success of the transaction.

Dan Billson, Partner at Prettys, said “I have worked with Ben and Luke for the last couple of years and, I was immediately struck by their ambition, and the success of Dynamic Fluid Solutions in the few years that they had been operating.  It is, therefore, of no surprise that Vestum saw such opportunity and potential in Ben, Luke and the Dynamic Fluid Solutions business.  I’m grateful that Ben and Luke put their trust in Prettys to guide them through a process which has proved to be a significant milestone for all parties involved.  It was great also to work alongside Jack Minns and his team at Larking Gowen, whose collaborative approach, and expert guidance, was of benefit to our clients and us.”

Jack Minns, Corporate Transactions Partner at Larking Gowen added “We are delighted to have advised the shareholders of DFS on this landmark transaction, and to work alongside Dan Billson and the wider Prettys team on the deal. The collaborative approach between our teams ensured a smooth and efficient process, and we’re delighted to have played a part in helping DFS take this exciting next step.”

The acquisition will allow Dynamic Fluid Solutions to continue delivering the high level of service its customers expect, while benefitting from the increased investment and opportunities that come with joining the Vestum group.
