+Founder age: Director aged approximately 77 — succession pressure is live.

Succession & seller-readiness

73/100

Strong succession signal

SIGNALS

primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 77 years old. Natural succession window is now.

supportingClean filings + long tenure: Disciplined long-tenure operator — classic lifestyle-business pattern that often sells quietly.
