Managing director Brian Norman and finance director Richard Olds led the deal, which was backed by Finance Wales and HSBC.

Norman said: “The management buy-out agreement will allow Vista to explore new maintenance services across a wide range of retail vendors.”

Mike Kear, corporate banking manager at HSBC, added: “Vista provides an integral service to major high street retailers and hospitality companies throughout the UK.”
