The consideration will comprise of £292.5m of cash, which will be funded by Howdens' existing cash resources and a new £240m bank facility, and £97.5m in Howdens’ shares.

The Eversheds Sutherland team was led by Corporate Partner and Head of Public Company Advisory Stephen Nash, supported by Partner Steven Hacking, Principal Associates Annika Unsworth and Paul Jackson, and Senior Associate Asim Hussein.

The finance aspects of the transaction were led by Partner and International Head of Finance Nick Swiss, supported by Principal Associate Charlotte Choules and Associate Tara Farrelly.
