Following the success of number of deals in the TIC (Testing, Inspection and Certification) and risk and compliance sector, our corporate finance team built a strong relationship with the shareholders of Hamilton Grant over a number of years.
When FoodChain ID approached Hamilton Grant, the shareholders called upon our sector and transactional expertise to lead the deal through to a successful completion.
The team led by Nigel Le Bas and Will Rose provided significant support throughout the process taking ownership of some complex financial issues and managing all parties to ensure the deal was completed in a tight time frame.
We have worked with the Grant Thornton team over a number of years and there was no other adviser we would have wanted to work with on this important Transaction. Nigel and Will were superb in their management of the project, dealing with the key negotiations and were generally a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of going through such an important transaction.
