“Cavendish played an invaluable role throughout a complex transaction and in particular getting the transaction across the finishing line.''

Lee Mowle, owner and CEO of Stewarts

"Cavendish Corporate Finance has been integral to the establishment of the New College of the Humanities, providing both valuable advice and managing a successful fundraising process that has enabled us to have a stellar founding shareholding group that provides not just capital but also experienced investors who will help NCH succeed and flourish."

Charles Watson, Chairman of NCH

"Cavendish did an excellent job in managing the fundraising process. Not only did they quickly identify and approach suitable investors, the fundraising transaction was completed to a strict time scale and in a difficult market. Their ongoing advice and support has also been invaluable to the business as we move forward."

Douglas Rotberg, Co-founder of Carsite

“Cavendish played a crucial role both in achieving a good result for shareholders and in enabling Hawk-Eye to go to the buyer offering the most compelling strategic fit''.

Paul Hawkins, founder of Hawk-Eye

''It has been a great pleasure working with you. I could not have done that final push of the journey I embarked upon 20 years ago without you. You really did wonderful work for me, especially in that last mile. I am so grateful.''

Toby Baxendale, founder and CEO of Seafood Holdings

''Cavendish have expertly managed the sale process and concluded it in a timely fashion. The new owners Westerleigh have a record of operating crematoria in the interests of all stakeholders and offered shareholders a price which the Board believe fairly reflects the value of the Company.''

Jeremy Leigh Pemberton, Chairman of KCC

''Cavendish efficiently and successfully delivered completion of a very complex transaction. They managed the differing requirements of the competing and often opposite-thinking parties involved, they maintained leadership, direction and certainty throughout the transaction, and ensured that the Board of Liberty Plc and its shareholders achieved the end goal, no matter what problems were encountered.''

Andrew Blurton, Finance Director of MWB Group Holdings Plc, (Liberty's 68% shareholder)

''The team at Cavendish demonstrated their international reach and their tenacity to stick with the deal until it closed. They found the ideal owner… We are very excited at the new opportunities that we can now develop''.

Dylan Williams, Managing Director of Royal Berkshire Shooting School

“Cavendish brought to the table extensive contacts in the venture capital industry and an understanding of how to present our investment case in the best light. All our business had been lacking was funding to achieve scale and with the capital secured from Balderton we are now empowered to bring about lasting change in the insurance industry and create significant value for all our shareholders along the way. We are delighted with the deal and with the invaluable help that Cavendish provided in obtaining it."

Peter Ashdown-Barr, Chief Executive of InterResolve

''We are delighted with the way in which Cavendish managed the process. Their knowledge and advice on strategy was invaluable and we would not have achieved this result without their key significant input. They were able to guide us professionally through the minefield of a sales exercise and their advice was robust and well-focused throughout''.
