What our clients say
Working with Nash was an absolute pleasure. They were at all times completely responsible and accountable to everything that we needed. Their strong financial acumen was incredibly important throughout the whole process. It was really important that they were able to truly articulate the value of the business in its current state and also look and really delve into the potential future alternate uses for the business…We were really happy with the interest that Nash generated. So we had multiple seriously interested parties, which created that competitive tension that you really need in a deal and was able to achieve the outcome that we wanted and that we expected.
After that first meeting it was clearly evident that the team at Nash were the right partner for us. They showed knowledge of the sector during that first meeting and I guess in every sort of situation, people buy people, and we certainly bought into Tom and Kieran during that first meeting in Melbourne.
Nash have made it seamless for us and most importantly now the ownership is actually sitting within Australia rather than an international operator. So we’re really pleased with that outcome.
