Buyers are being sought for Gloucestershire engineering firm Renishaw, which employs 2,200 staff in the county.
John Deer and Sir David McMurtry, founder of Renishaw, are looking to sell their 53 per cent stake in the Gloucestershire engineering business.
Sir David McMurtry, chairman and chief executive of Renishaw plc, has decided to sell his shares in the business he co-founded with John Deer.
Staff at engineering giant Renishaw woke to a shock this morning as the ‘for sale’ sign went up outside the Gloucestershire business.
Since its foundation in 1973 by former Rolls Royce engineers John Deer and Sir David McMurtry, the firm has grown into a world-wide success story under their stewardship, employing 2,200 staff in the county and 4,400 world-wide.
