“After 60 years in private hands it was very important to me to find the right buyer for William Levene as well as realise the right price. Cavendish did a thorough and professional job in achieving both these goals”.

Michael Levene, Chairman, Best Direct

"Cavendish made full use of their very strong international network to create competitive tension throughout the process and drive the sale to completion. The significant multiple of revenue achieved for an early stage, pre-profits business is testament to the ability of the Cavendish team to manage negotiations and maximise value. Overall, I was delighted by the service we received and the result achieved."

Mark Duffin, Chief Executive, Enviro-Fresh

''The comprehensive exit review together with thorough pre-sale grooming by Caroline Belcher established the platform for this sale. The Cavendish team skillfully structured the sale process and further negotiated through a protracted and difficult climate to secure a very satisfactory sale. They were professional in every department.''

Mike Thorpe, Managing Director of Express Finance

''This was a difficult sale process to manage and involved many more complexities than found in much larger transactions. Raymond and Peter were tenacious throughout and ensured that any set-back was put back on-track, and eventually a successful and satisfactory outcome was delivered for the Trustees.''

Mark Quinn, Managing Director of PRP & a Trustee of the Paul Raymond Estate

“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

''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 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

''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 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

"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
