Nathan Lapsley, Wright Hassall’s corporate senior associate, who advised the sellers, said: “Buckingham Swimming Pools are a long-standing client of ours and to see a new team commit to the future of the company through a management buyout proves just how strong the business has become over the years. We wish the new owners continued success.”
