“I am delighted to be presented with this opportunity to further expand the company, after our rapid growth in recent years. The combination of the two businesses will offer unprecedented levels of quality service across the wider realm of retail image. Without doubt, this will bring synergies to both ourselves and to Blaze. I am grateful to Mark for the care and attention taken to ensure a smooth deal.”

“I engaged Meta when I was in preliminary negotiations with Vin Murria at ACS. I recognised I would benefit from their transactional expertise as well as the additional niche healthcare experience tabled by the Meta team. Meta helped me to select and manage my team of legal (Vertex Law LLP) and accounting and tax advisers (Zenon Transaction Services Ltd), and facilitated discussions and negotiations with ACS. Meta and my wider advisory team helped progress the deal from heads of agreement through to completion in an extremely tight three week time frame.”

“Meta certainly helped streamline the process and provided vital co-ordination throughout the sale, particularly the due diligence phase. Their past experience with ACS helped us to understand and deal with the issues quicker and we are all delighted with the end result.”

“I am very grateful to Peter and Meta for their assistance. Their strategic and financial advice dovetailed neatly with the operational, manufacturing and logistical knowledge that we were able to deliver from our in-house resources.”

“Having grown the business at a good rate organically and been approached as a takeover target, Meta helped us to consider alternative growth opportunities and introduced us to a number of potential suitors. Throughout all the options we pursued, Meta showed that not only do they understand how to best present our business from a financial perspective, they also understand our market and the key players in it. I have no doubt that Meta facilitated us completing our sale with terms that were the most beneficial to us.”
