NW Trading acquisition of Caldaire Trading

NW Trading is a successful shipping, logistics and trading company. Its principal activities include shipbroking and chartering, stevedoring and cargo handling services, warehousing, distribution and road haulage services. The company also trades in a number of commodities including urea and biomass with its principal operations located in Liverpool, Goole, Hull and Southampton.

NW Trading's growth plans meant that the company needed access to more ship berthing and warehousing facilities on the east coast. When the opportunity arose to acquire Caldaire Trading, a Goole based competitor, NW Trading turned to PM+M for help in completing the deal.
