“The Oaklins team were a pleasure to work with, helping us to build the story about the company and being available round the clock. Their international reach meant we had access to a pool of buyers, many of which we did not know. This, combined with their problem-solving ability and calmness, meant we navigated our way safely through the process. We have completed with a buyer who we believe understands both the business and its culture and we are very excited for Nexus’ future. We would definitely work with the Oaklins team again.”
