John Livesey, Beovax's founder and majority shareholder said "The whole sale process demands a range of expertise far beyond the scope of the average business. With finite resources and limited experience in the sale process, it is essential to engage with a company such as Meridian. Darren and his team led the way throughout, from IM production to final day negotiations. I simply could not have completed the sale without them and would consider their fees money well spent. I would thoroughly recommend Meridian, they are an absolute pleasure to work with and have a sense of humour when it really matters!"
Darren Thompson, Partner at Meridian commented “No deal is straightforward and we worked closely with John and the acquirer to overcome a number of obstacles. Ultimately, this is a great strategic fit for both parties - the acquisition allows Pervasive the opportunity to expand its managed services offering and consolidate its position in its marketplace as well as providing them with an extremely experienced team.”
Legal advice to Beovax was provided by Emma Gibson and Robert Pook of Shoosmiths’ Reading office with Simon Arthur of Lamb Brooks advising Pervasive.
