    “It was a great pleasure to work with Prabin on the MBO of CJR. Prabin is clearly an experienced corporate financier, and was instrumental in helping us complete the transaction – drawing on his experience to work very collaboratively with the deal team to support us through what was a very smooth process!”

    I’ve been working with Darren and Mike and the Meridian team for the last three years at Board level.. They have been extremely helpful and incredibly patient with me.  They are so honest, trustworthy and transparent and it is truly refreshing working alongside people like this.  They are all incredibly intelligent and excellent at what they do.  I have learned a huge amount along the way; they really are at the top of their game.

    This is a fantastic deal for the shareholders, staff and customers of QRG.  I would particularly like to thank the Meridian team, whose advice and experience were truly magnificent, and without whom this deal would never have initiated or been valued as high as it was. When I think back on the past 3 months, I have to say the orchestration was perfect.
