"Meridian's advice and support proved invaluable getting our MBO across the line. From our first meeting they worked very hard to understand our business and provide the appropriate advice and worked closely alongside our existing accountants and new legal advisors. They project managed the deal through to completion providing the best possible outcome for myself, the management team and the business going forward."

“It was clear to me that the help of a corporate finance company to sell CJR was essential. Meridian’s advice and support was excellent throughout the MBO process, it was a total pleasure dealing with them and their legal and tax partners.

We would totally recommend Meridian to anyone thinking about selling their business.”

"We knew that we needed a plan for the future but we weren't sure whether a sale or a management buyout was the best choice for us. Meridian clearly explained the pros and cons of what options were available to us. We were never pressurised and had numerous meetings until we clearly understood our options. We can’t recommend Meridian highly enough, and it’s been a pleasure working with them."
