Husband and wife team acquires Black Country manufacturer

A husband and wife team has bought out a Black Country manufacturing business.

Owners Cameron and Elizabeth Wakeman have taken over Midlands Wire Mesh in an undisclosed deal which has allowed previous owners David and Debbie Walters to retire.

Established in 1975, Midland Wire Mesh is based in Lodgefield Road, Halesowen, and manufactures wire mesh, supplying to clients in sectors such as construction, gardening, drainage and the pet industry.

As a result of the acquisition, the new owners said they hoped to create an additional three roles, diversify the in-house services they provide to include welding and invest in new machinery.
