"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

'We had tremendous support from the Cavendish team throughout the sale process. I believe we have been very well advised and that their perspectives and experience at the inevitably tricky moments were enormously valuable.'

“We set ourselves a very aggressive timetable for achieving completion of the deal, something that was imperative to both Wolseley and ourselves. Cavendish worked hard on our behalf to both maximize the terms achieved and to drive the transaction to complete on time. Cavendish's familiarity with the issues involved was invaluable and they were able to give us fully informed advice at all stages of the transaction.”

David Bell, Finance Director, AC Electrical

"During the lengthy negotiations with Schneider Electric, we received the full attention of Cavendish's experienced and dedicated deal team. Cavendish helped us navigate through a process that was new to us but familiar to Schneider and remained focussed on the commercial terms of the transaction throughout. Working with Cavendish, we have secured a terrific deal for shareholders and one which will be transformational for the business." John Joseph, Chairman and founder, GET Group Plc

"The Exit Review process managed by Caroline Belcher was very good at defining what were the priorities to exit and galvanising the management team into making the necessary changes. Without this intervention, we would not have been able to attract such interest in the market place nor have been able to achieve this price."

Eric Winkler, owner and Managing Director, Saitek

"We were delighted with the personal service offered by the team at Cavendish. The process was managed professionally and we were confident that the team understood the intimacies of a private sale including the need to maintain competitive tension throughout the process and the need to maintain confidentiality."

Julia Langkraehr, shareholder, Retail Profile Ltd

''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''.

James Averdieck, the founder and shareholder of Gü

''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.''
