“The Oaklins Cavendish team were superb from start to finish. We understood well the team's pedigree in Zest’s sector. However, once appointed to advise us on a long-term basis, their preparation and then management of our engagement with our ultimate acquirer was first class throughout. We appreciated their attention to detail, diligence and clear communication and advice through-out the successful process.”
