"The MBO allows us to progress and expand the service that we provide to our clients to ensure that we continue to be one of the best in our field."

"I would also like to thank the prior owners for giving me this exciting opportunity."

The MBO was supported by Greenaway Scott and Verde Corporate Finance, which form the multidiscipline GS Verde Group.
