"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."

''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.''
