Mr David Brown
Managing Director, Pacific Equity Partners
We've been working with Christian on both sides of transactions over the last decade. As a buy-side advisor, Christian brings differentiated and valuable angles and
networks to a deal opportunity. He is an astute sell-side banker who greatly adds to the strategic and tactical aspects of a sale process. Christian and his team exhibit a high level of dedication and work ethic in all they do. In sum, it’s a high-quality product.
Mr Ed Bostock
Managing Director, KKR (2007 - 2017)
During my 10 years at KKR I worked with Christian and his team on multiple transactions. I work with them because of the quality of their networks, commercial
acumen and creative approach to unlocking deals. More importantly however, I saw them as a trusted advisor that would always give us what they thought was the right advice regardless of the outcome. Having worked with many advisors over the years, I can say that Christian and his team are of the highest quality and would welcome the opportunity to work with them again in the future.
Mr Jon Newbery
Head of Corporate Finance & Projects
We were approached by Christian and his team to assist with the sale of Spotless' commercial laundry business, given their experience in the area. Once appointed, Christian and Nick demonstrated their extensive knowledge of the sector and the likely buyers.
They built strong relationships with the team, produced quality information and worked tirelessly throughout the process. In the end, as a result of COVID, the deal took over two years to complete, but they remained committed and were instrumental in adjusting the transaction structure to achieve a strong outcome for Spotless. Christian and Nick added significant value to the process and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future.
Mr Paul Evans
Founding Partner and COO, Ironbridge
I have worked with Christian and Nick on several successfully completed projects. What I value above all is their honesty and their ability to put themselves in the shoes of the entrepreneur and shareholder.
They combine this with best-in-class financial analysis and documentation.
