ELECTRIC MOTOR SALES / REPAIRS / SERVICING AND BREAKDOWN ASSISTANCE in Banbury for Sale.

Ernest Wilson is pleased to present to the market a well established and highly respected electro mechanical engineering business located in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The company serves an extensive and diverse client base throughout Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire, supporting industries such as manufacturing, food production, agriculture, and even high performance sectors like Formula 1.

The business offers a comprehensive suite of specialist services, including:
Comprehensive electric motor repairs and rewinding AC motors (scope for a new owner to rewind DC and servo motors which our client currently does not do).
Repair and refurbishment services for gearboxes, generators, pumps (including water and sewage systems), and industrial fans.
Rapid-response breakdown call-outs and on site engineering support for commercial and industrial customers.
Sales of high quality electric motors and associated equipment, including control gear, pumps, fans, generators, and gearboxes.
Environmentally responsible engineering practices, with more than 75% of materials reused or recycled during equipment overhauls.
Our client currently outsources the design and manufacture of bespoke control panels, incorporating advanced PLC programming capabilities - scope to move this in-house.

This well-established business was originally founded in 1986 and will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2026. It has been owned by our client since 2021 and has been run on a largely hands-off basis, with day-to-day operations managed by a highly skilled and experienced team of engineers, while the owner focuses primarily on administrative responsibilities. The company delivers a strong annual turnover of £478,000, maintains healthy profit margins, and demonstrates consistent financial performance.

The operation is housed within secure, well maintained premises held on a favourable lease. Positioned within a busy industrial estate, the location provides excellent accessibility for the established customer base and supports efficient service delivery. Significant opportunities exist for an ambitious new owner to further develop the business, expand service offerings, and build on the solid foundations already in place.

To ensure a smooth transition, our client is willing to offer a two week initial training period following completion. Additionally, they are open to providing a more extended handover of up to 12 months, with suitable remuneration - typically comprising 3 to 4 months of full time involvement, followed by part time or advisory support as required.
