“Thank you very much to the Oaklins Cavendish team for all your help and advice on this transaction. We are not sure how we would have got to the end without you and you had an ability to find a mid-ground where both sides were happy – this certainly takes some skill. Thank you for all of your hard work and we would not hesitate in recommending you and your services to anyone else.”
