Bracebridge Corporate Finance provided hands-on support throughout the entire process, including advice on all strategic and financial aspects of the transaction. Andy Moore, who led the transaction on behalf of Bracebridge, was always available to deal with issues as they arose and gave the management team excellent support throughout the process. The process was handled professionally and efficiently and was completed within 4 months. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bracebridge Corporate Finance

In my role as founder and builder of a UK based medical device company I relied upon Andy Moore to provide advice, analysis and market knowledge as we built our company through acquisition and integration. A thorough, ethical and analytical man , Andy quickly grasped our strategic plan and used his work ethic and unique deal making skills to add considerable value. Oriented solely towards his clients interests, the best advice he ever gave me was to not purchase a troubled competitor as in his view it was a ” bridge too far” given our integration resources. A bitter pill to swallow at the time he turned out to be correct. When it came time to sell our business I turned again to Andy who in a professional manner expedited the successful transaction. I recommend Andy and his services to any company, large or small, who want or need advice about uk capital markets and appropriate strategies to grow their enterprise.

Andy is a very experienced Corporate Finance professional who I have known for many years. Whilst I was CEO of Femcare Group, Andy, in his previous role, provided invaluable support to help develop our exit strategy and under his leadership, and a challenging mandate, Femcare was successfully sold to a US trade buyer to the mutual satisfaction of all parties including the lead investor Barclays Private Equity (now Equistone). I have no hesitation in recommending Bracebridge Corporate Finance

Exiting a business can be a very stressful and time consuming process. We appointed Bracebridge a number of months before the transaction to assist in the organisation and planning for the sale. They led us through the process from start to finish in a very efficient manner, from initial discussions with the buyer, negotiating the terms of the deal and coordinating the entire transaction process. Andy was able to assimilate the nuances of the business very quickly which enabled a very quick and mutually successful transaction. We are delighted with the outcome for everyone involved and look forward to seeing Raleigh go from strength to strength.
