The new owners, who were introduced to Assetz Capital through Ludgate Finance, plan to build on Hayfield Engineering’s heritage by expanding their current client base within the water and oil industries and use new Director Andy Proffitt’s connections within the automotive industry to expand the business.

“Assetz Capital and their investors have really helped us to secure the future of this business by helping us with the funding we needed quickly and simply to purchase Hayfield Engineering. We are proud to be continuing the high quality work that has been going on since 1983.”
