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.

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.

Gareth Frankland, Owner and CEO, ACDC

BHP were outstanding throughout – they made the deal happen in many ways – more than happy to recommend them.

BHP advised me on the sale of 60% of my company acdc to Austrian Listed International lighting corporation Zumtobel Group. It was a complicated transaction as it involved handling 4 other key stakeholders, with their own individual goals, but BHP handled matters extremely professionally. During initial meetings with the buyer, BHP had a knack of being able to make the potentially complicated relatively simple, and their lead role throughout negotiations was absolutely fundamental to the transaction. Throughout the process BHP kept the deal moving in the right direction, overcoming several major obstacles, providing me with excellent advice and support throughout the process.

Steve Pickering, MD / Owner, Leengate Valves

They guided us through the process from start to finish and we could always rely on them to provide insightful and well-reasoned advice.

BHP Corporate Finance were integral to making the deal happen. The company’s previous owner was a large and sophisticated German multinational. We therefore wanted an advisor with the experience and professionalism to deal with the vendor on our behalf and BHP showed they had these qualities in abundance. They guided us through the process from start to finish and we could always rely on them to provide insightful and well-reasoned advice. In short their commitment to getting the right deal for us was unquestionable.

Alan Peel, Managing Director, Altek

Throughout the highs and lows of the process we could always rely on Don and Tim to be there to provide advice around the clock.

This acquisition is a very positive step forward for ALTEK, providing the company with a strong financial owner and industry leader which is committed to supporting ALTEK’s growth and innovation strategy. We really enjoyed working with Don Gray and Tim Brind from BHP Corporate Finance. This was a very significant transaction for us and BHP’s wise counsel and coolness under pressure were fundamental to getting the deal done. Throughout the highs and lows of the process we could always rely on Don and Tim to be there to provide advice around the clock.
