CROSS-BORDER M&A AND CAPITAL

Our firm started in 1953 and so it was critical that we found the right buyer to carry our heritage and current staff's aspirations and talents into the future. With the engineering sector continuing to globalise and consolidate at a heady pace, it was crucial for us to join a firm that had the resources and backing to win important projects locally and overseas. Eaton Square enabled us to reach globally to contact potential buyers and understood our varying shareholders’ needs when evaluating the pros and cons of potential transactions

The sale of my firm was a major decision in my life. I was selling my largest asset. Eaton Square helped me find the right commercial transaction but also assisted me through the transition process. Their technical M&A skills combined with understanding people was crucual to making the deal a success.

Irek Stawiczny CEO GMC

It was important for our founders and shareholders to be able to consider the various options for the next stage of their ownership in the firm. Eaton Square enables us to consider trade sale versus PE and to contrast the opportunities domestically versus those that international players offered.

Bruce Williams CEO Shelde

Eaton Square were a great help in our transaction because they understood services businesses. This was important because the value in services businesses is the people and IP and so the way buyers looked at our firm was different that traditional asset-based business. Eaton Square got services business and also managed our shareholders’ varying needs through the sale process astutely.
