„We were extremely impressed with Oaklins’ dedication and expertise throughout the process. The Oaklins team provided exceptional support, combining a deep understanding of M&A with meticulous attention to detail to create an accurate and robust data pack. Their efforts led to a valuation that was at the upper threshold. The team played a pivotal role; their tireless work rate, late-night availability, approachability and strong relationship with our buyer ensured the deal progressed quickly and smoothly. We don’t think we would have got the deal done without their support and would not hesitate to recommend Oaklins to other companies in a similar position.“
