Max SteventonLH Woodhouse, a UK supplier of temporary stables and event structures, has completed a management buyout in which MD Dan Hassall (pictured) has become the company’s new owner.
The transition follows the planned retirement of long-time owner Tony Marsh. Marsh led the business for more than 30 years, overseeing its operations across equestrian, agricultural and broader event sectors.
Hassall, who has served as MD for almost four years, will continue the company’s operations under the existing leadership and operational structure.
LH Woodhouse provides design, manufacturing, and installation of temporary stables and event structures for equestrian, agricultural, country shows, and wider events, including private and international projects. The company has supplied infrastructure for major events, including the Barcelona and London Olympics.
The company said the management buyout is intended to maintain continuity for clients, partners, and employees while allowing the business to build on its established operational framework.
Woodhouse said it will continue to focus on temporary stables and event infrastructure across the sectors it serves.
“Taking ownership of Woodhouse matters a great deal to me,” said Hassall. “I’ve been part of the business day in, day out, so this isn’t a change in direction, it’s a long-term commitment to something I already believe in completely.”
Marsh said, “As part of my planned transition from ownership, finding the right custodian for the business was important to me. Dan has shown steady leadership and a clear commitment to the values that define Woodhouse, and I am confident the company is in capable hands as it moves into its next chapter.”
