TASCA Tankers acquisition fuels further growth - January 2012

Wakefield-based manufacturer TASCA Tankers is on track for further expansion in the UK and overseas after acquiring the business
and assets of Maidment Tankers in West Sussex out of administration. Established in 1995 and now employing 100 staff on the
Diamond Business Park, TASCA Tankers makes tankers to transport liquids including fuel, oil and water for a wide-range of
industries. The company’s sales turnover has increased from £4.6m in 2009 to an estimated £7m in 2011 and staff levels have risen
by 50% - to 60 - during the same period. Neil Large, partner at hlw Keeble Hawson Solicitors - one of the region's biggest practices
with offices in Leeds, Sheffield and Doncaster - and Lyndsey Shaw of Sterling Corporate Finance acted for TASCA Tankers
TASCA is commissioned by customers including Otley-based Tate Fuel Oils, Peak Fuels from Derbyshire and UK fuels and lubricants
distributor GB Oils. Its export drive has resulted in orders from Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The Maidment base in
Littlehampton will continue to provide a sales, service, commercial painting and repair facility. Plans are in the pipeline to further
boost the Wakefield workforce by around 20 new recruits this year, in addition to the company’s annual commitment to taking on
three new apprentices from Wakefield College. Said TASCA Tankers’ Shaun Harte, who joined the business in 2009: “With a
steadfast reputation for quality and service in the South of England, which mirrored TASCA’s reputation in the North, it was a natural
move for TASCA to acquire Maidment from the administrator.“ “I’m impressed at the speed and efficiency with which Neil and
Lyndsey facilitated and concluded the purchase and am looking forward to driving TASCA Tankers forward as a debt-free business
with a strong reputation.” Added Neil Large: “TASCA’s track record is testimony to its quality-driven ethos and world-class
manufacturing techniques. The company’s growth and innovation during the challenging backdrop of the last years, coupled with
the Maidment development, leverages its position as a leading player in its field which is proud of its Yorkshire roots.”
