Cookstown-based BA Components (
www.byba.co.uk), a specialist manufacturer of kitchen and bedroom doors and furniture components, has announced an investment from H2 Equity Partners, which will support the company’s strategy of continued investment in its manufacturing sites and product development.
Established in 1990 by twin brothers Brian and Kieran McCracken, BA has three manufacturing sites — in Cookstown, Doncaster and Rotherham — and has seen its pre-tax profits increase by 14% to almost £4.2 million.
With some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the UK and Ireland, the company has expanded into new market areas both in the UK and across the globe, and it currently exports to more than 20 countries.
The investment from H2 will support BA’s aim of becoming a ‘one-stop shop’ for mid-to high-end doors and tool-free cabinets.
Brian McCracken, managing director, said: “We chose to partner with H2 because of their good knowledge of our sector and excellent track record — built up over 26 years of working with family-owned businesses.
Both Kieran and myself will remain actively involved in the business, and we look forward to working with H2 to build on the core drivers of BA’s success, which are a broad range of high-quality products and excellent customer service.”
