Banner Jones Solicitors of Chesterfield and Sheffield entered an ‘all girl’ team in the first ever Chesterfield marathon earlier this month. Ann-Marie Lowe, Marketing Manager said “We have quite a few keen runners in our midst and being based in Chesterfield it seemed only right to enter a team. The relay was a great way for us to get more staff involved as it was split into 4 legs, 2 shorter legs of around 4 miles and 2 longer legs of 9 miles.”

Banner Jones help X-Cel Superturn acquire Colson Industries in £1.75m deal. Sheffield-based X-Cel Superturn (GB) Ltd, which manufactures precision engineered components for the oil and gas sector, has acquired fellow Yorkshire business Colson Industries in a £1.75 million deal. X-Cel Superturn was founded in 1984 by current Managing Director Andrew Taylor as Sheffield Superturn to manufacture small to medium CNC machined parts. The company has expanded through a combination of organic growth and acquisition and this year expects to grow turnover from £24 million to £30 million, independent of the Colson acquisition. It employs 130 people across its sites in Sheffield, Rotherham and Batley. X-Cel Superturn plans to quadruple sales at Colson Industries, from £2.5 million to £10 million over the next two years, adding 25 employees over the period to bring staff numbers up to 65. Colson Industries will now act as a 100% subsidiary of X-Cel Superturn.
