Lancereal drives forward with leadership change

A powertrain firm has completed a management buyout (MBO) as part of a plan to modernise and expand operations.

Laura Hampson and Rob Yorke have taken on managing director roles at Lancereal, building on the strong foundations laid by founder Nick Hampson, who has been at the helm of the company since its establishment in 1988.

Laura, who is stepping into her father’s role and will focus on sales and business development, shared that the MBO is a natural progression for Lancereal, retaining the company's established values while paving the way for future development.

She said: “Rob and I have been deeply involved in the commercial and operational direction of the business for several years.

“This step will provide continuity and stability, ensuring our customers and suppliers continue to experience the same level of service, integrity, and support that Lancereal has provided for decades.”

The company has rebranded, launched a new website, and expanded its team to align with its long-term vision of becoming a global leader in drive transmission solutions.

With a focus on electrification and customer-centric offerings, Lancereal is bolstering its marketing efforts and workforce to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.

Rob, who has worked at the company for over ten years and will now oversee engineering and operations, added: “The MBO is not just about ownership change but about maintaining the passion and ethos that have been the backbone of Lancereal since the beginning.

“We are committed to upholding the customer-first approach and ensuring strong, trusted partnerships as we move forward."
