BSW Group acquires stake in Power Sheds

11 August 2022


Yorkshire-based shed manufacturer, Power Sheds, has embarked upon an exciting partnership with BSW Group (now part of Binderholz), the largest integrated forestry business in the UK, which has acquired a stake in the company.

Having only been operating since 2019, Power Sheds was launched manufacturing wooden garden buildings such as sheds and summerhouses. Just three years later, the Bradford-based company has won a raft of industry awards, including ‘Start Up of the Year 2022’ and become one of the biggest disrupters in the industry, with a turnover in excess of £15m.

Power Sheds’ CEO, Jack Sutcliffe, and director, Simon Hobson, will remain in control and continue to drive the business forward in their venture with BSW Group.

“Our new partnership with BSW Group is really exciting for the company and gives us a great opportunity to build Power Sheds into a world-wide brand and break into new markets such as the US and Europe,” said Mr Sutcliffe. “I’m looking forward to building the business even further and seeing where it takes us over the next few years.”

“This is a really exciting time for the company, and we can’t wait to see what this means for our development and growth,” added Mr Hobson. “The new partnership means there are going to be more opportunities for the existing team at Power Sheds, who have been integral in helping us achieve everything we’ve done on the journey so far.”

“We are really impressed with the rapid growth and success that Power Sheds has achieved in only three years, so the team was very excited to develop a relationship and help it expand to its full potential,” said Alan Milne, CFO of the BSW Group. “We are very much looking forward to working together.”

“To work in partnership with Power Sheds is a great win for us, and gives us the opportunity to supply a wider range of value-added products to global markets,” added Tony Hackney, BSW Group CEO. “We’re excited to support Power Sheds as they continue to grow as a leading garden building supplier”.

Global sawmiller, Binderholz acquired BSW Group in January 2022, meaning it is now the largest sawmilling timber group in Europe with access to markets on a global scale. They aim to diversify and widen the success of Power Sheds in new markets across the world.

Power Sheds employs 75 staff at the Bradford headquarters. The company’s current leadership including Jack Sutcliffe and Simon Hobson, will stay in place. Alan Milne joins them on the Power Sheds board.
