+Founder name in company name: Company name contains director surname "WOOD" — strong identity link between founder and business.
+Founder age: Director aged approximately 83 — succession pressure is live.
+Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 83 years old. Natural succession window is now.
