“Thank you so much for the hard work you put into our sale. "We are delighted with the result both personally and for the company. We now have some work to do in maximising the benefits of the deal to both parties. Your support during the deal was excellent and helped us go through a process that was completely new to us. It seemed to go very smoothly and I know that much of that was due to your background work with Egis's advisors. We also felt well supported on the detail of the final stages. “Many thanks once again to you both. It was a great time and a perfect outcome.”

Mike Shorthose, Chairman and co-founder - Helios

"Cavendish took the time to really understand our business enabling them to have a professional and well thought out approach to the deal. They assisted immensely with the due diligence process this being reflected in the depth of information needed at times along with the need to carefully manage the numerous requests for information. They provided the kind of support which in the process of selling your business gives you confidence that there is balance between providing information and negotiating elements of the deal.

Anthony French, IT & Finance Director, First City Care

“The Cavendish Team have been instrumental in delivering me a buyer which is a perfect fit for my business. I appointed Caroline Belcher to perform an Exit Review which led on to the sale mandate, and they have been with me every step of the way. This is a wonderful milestone in our history and I am delighted.”

Ian Moore, Executive Chairman Moore Group Limited

‘Cavendish took on the challenge of selling Robert Dyas against the background of a very difficult environment for retailers in general caused by the current economic downturn. However, they were undaunted by this and found a buyer that allowed existing shareholders to exit and for the Robert Dyas business to have a new owner who wants to expand and develop the business.’

Geoff Brady, Chairman of Robert Dyas Holdings Limited

Linda , Gordon and the team at Cavendish were superb. They managed a competitive sale process and generated interest from international buyers from the broad media and healthcare sectors.

"This is a great outcome for both the shareholders and the ongoing management team. The closer we have got to Vestey the more we have seen how they share the same values as Donald Russell, which bodes well for the future. It was very impressive to see how Cavendish handled the auction process and used their international network to talk directly with purchasers around the world. You stayed with us every step of the way and made sure that the sale moved ahead despite all the obstacles, so thank you!"

Hans Baumann of Donald Russell

"In bringing PRA to the table, Cavendish identified a buyer who recognised the value created by the team during the period of our ownership and who has an exciting vision for the future of the business. The Cavendish team helped ensure the price paid by PRA reflects this and that the deal completed in a timely fashion. It represents a very successful investment for JZI."
