Helen and the Cripps team were proactive and provided clear and commercial guidance throughout the transaction process. This was a complex transaction and when issues arose, they were resolved quickly and without fuss, ensuring the deal stayed on track. They were a pleasure to work with.

We were confident you would do your utmost to ensure we got a fair deal. Their enthusiasm, passion and warmth of approach shone through from day one. With your vast experience of private equity deals, we knew you were the right team to represent us.

Thank you to the Cripps team which managed the sale with efficiency and professionalism. Helen and her team were always available to answer our questions and give clear advice and recommendations. We were well represented in all aspects of this transaction and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team.
Tony Euden
CEO of BOAT
There are few firms regionally with the knowledge and experience required to navigate the technical and complex legal issues involved with public fundraisings. We found the corporate team at Cripps had a good understanding of what was required of us and worked closely with our other advisers to ensure our objectives were met.
