Sanderson Weatherall have recently strengthened their machinery and business assets offering with
the acquisition of UCPE, a firm specialising in the sale of used cereal processing equipment.
The acquisition sees David Whyte, founder of UCPE, join Sanderson Weatherall as a consultant.

setting up UCPE in 1998.
Head of SW’s machinery and business assets team, Neil Simpson commented, “This is a strategic
partnership for Sanderson Weatherall and it makes sense for us to go down this road, bearing in
mind our combined knowledge and experience in the process plant and milling related sector. We
welcome David to SW to be working alongside partners Roy Tubman and Stephen Jepson and the
team and have no doubt his vast expertise and contact base will enhance our offering to this
industry.”
