Completed sale
West Street Garage (Normanton)
West Street Garage (Normanton), a long-established vehicle diagnostics, repair, MOT and tyre service provider, has been successfully sold, marking the retirement of its shareholders.
Established by Duncan Bolton and Gary Stakes over 30 years ago, the Wakefield-based business has been developed into a highly regarded independent garage with a strong reputation in its local market.
The company operates from a well-equipped, multi-bay workshop and offers a comprehensive range of services, supported by modern diagnostics equipment and a consistent focus on quality.
It has built a loyal and repeat customer base in the thousands, with sustained demand driven largely through word-of-mouth and long-standing relationships.
The availability of the freehold property alongside the trading business represented a compelling opportunity for buyers, combining operational strength with asset-backed value.
The sale process, managed by Operations Manager Sara Manville, generated interest and resulted in multiple offers, ultimately leading to a successful transaction.
The business was acquired by Stephen Crawford’s M Way Comms, a communications and infrastructure provider specialising in telecoms, connectivity and network solutions.
The acquisition represents a strategic bolt-on, enabling the buyer to diversify its operations while establishing a physical, service-led presence within the local area.
For West Street Garage, the transaction ensures continuity for its established customer base while positioning the business within a new ownership structure capable of supporting its ongoing development.
The Knightsbridge team wishes Duncan and Gary all the best in their retirement and looks forward to seeing the business continue under new ownership.
