Andrew Pearce, Owner, Whirlowdale
The whole BHP Corporate Finance team were superb
Having been involved with Whirlowdale since the mid-1980s, realising our investment was always going to be a hugely emotional process for myself and the family. The whole BHP Corporate Finance team were superb, not only from a deal making, financial and tax point of view but they were on hand every step of the way providing the leadership, guidance, confidence and reassuring hand that were invaluable throughout the process. I have in fact worked with them on a variety of transactions in the past but I was still taken aback by how much they invest in making sure they get the right result for their client. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the strongest terms.

Sean Taggart, CEO, The Albatross Group
They inspire confidence, wear their considerable expertise lightly and frankly are a pleasure to deal with.
My time at Albatross has shaped much of my professional life and most if not all of that has been down to the people that I have met and worked with and the friendships and relationships that I have been fortunate enough to build over the years. This very much includes the team at BHP Corporate Finance. Even in an amicable deal such as ours, there are lots of issues to consider and complexities to overcome and they took all these in their stride and made it look easy! They inspire confidence, wear their considerable expertise lightly and frankly are a pleasure to deal with. I would not have a moment’s hesitation in recommending them to anyone who was looking to do any sort of transaction.
Charles Buddery, Chief Executive, Dig for Fire DMG
Utterly professional, able to add real value and frankly very easy to work with
I have worked with BHP Corporate Finance both to buy companies and to sell my own. Subsequently I have even found myself on the other side of a transaction from them. All of this arguably leaves me uniquely qualified to comment on their all round strengths. In each instance I have found them utterly professional, able to add real value and frankly very easy to work with. Business doesn’t need people who complicate situations simply to justify their own involvement and fees.
John Kearney, MD, Westpack
Translink’s support and advice was instrumental in guiding us through the acquisition of Westpack. They negotiated and structured an excellent deal for us which exceeded our expectations, and sourced a funding partner on attractive terms, despite the challenging market conditions.

Translink’s rigorous project management throughout the process kept this deal on track – the team demonstrated unwavering commitment and patience when many others would have simply given up. We really saw the benefits from Translink’s multi-disciplinary team, receiving advice and guidance from specialist tax and SPA advisory experts.
We look forward to holding a long-term relationship with Translink and utilising their services throughout our journey – we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.
Steve Tate, Chairman and CEO, Check Safety First
I highly recommend the services of BHP Corporate Finance. A business owner would be crazy not to use their services to lead a sales process; their involvement is completely self-financing and allows the people who built the business to focus on running the company throughout the process.
The sale of our business to a large listed acquiror was a complex and significant transaction throughout which BHP’s advice and support was invaluable. BHP oversaw a global marketing process which resulted in us securing a highly successful outcome for both the shareholders and the company and were with us every step of the way. I am clear that we wouldn’t have been able to deliver the result that we did without the help of Andy, Tim and the team at BHP, for which we are very grateful.
David Webster, Former Managing Director, The Label Makers Limited
The decision to sell the family business, which I had built up over 35 years, was one of the hardest of my life. BHP was selected as our preferred advisor due to their experience, professional approach and association with Translink.
