Naylor Concrete Products has acquired concrete fencing manufacturer Procter Fencing and part of its assets for an undisclosed sum.

Procter Fencing is a manufacturer and supplier of concrete fence posts and ancillary products. The business, which has a turnover of £3.3m, employs 32 people. Its Director Keith Kirwin will be joining Naylor.

Naylor is only buying the West Yorkshire facility in Garforth. The sites in Bedwas, South Wales and Brentwood, Essex will remain with Procter Bros, which owned the company until now. Procter Fencing was created in the mid-60s following a restructuring of the main business which itself dates back to 1740.

Naylor Chief Executive Edward Naylor said: “We’re looking forward to working with the Procter team to develop their fencing range and capacity and are excited about being able to offer our customers a wider range of concrete products.”

Naylor Concrete Products Ltd is based at Barugh Green, Barnsley and is part of Naylor Industries plc, a fourth-generation family group of manufacturing businesses. The company has been manufacturing prestressed concrete lintels for over 50 years. Its precast activities tanks and retaining walls date back to the acquisition of White’s (Concrete) Ltd in 2016.

The company recently commissioned a new £2 million automated lintel manufacturing plant which has improved productivity and increased capacity.
