Words from Our Partners in Success
“Dom and Letitia conducted a formal and discrete sale process that included preparing a very detailed and comprehensive Information Memorandum to be presented to qualified buyers. Whilst reaching out directly to food export competitors in Australia and Asia, a number of interested parties were uncovered.
Stratton guided me through the process with regular updates whilst carefully protecting the confidential information of Easychef.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Stratton to any business owner in the food export/manufacturing sector for their business sale requirements.”
“Shaw River appointed Dom and Stratton Advisory to sell our Buffalo herd in 2022.
It was a complicated engagement involving the sale/windup of a family business with 20 years of history, with a unique asset (riverine water buffalo) and consisted of a large amount of land, complex herd of animals and a factory with specialty manufacturing equipment.
Throughout the entire process, which eventually led to a great result for the Haldane family, Dom and the team were extremely professional at all times, showed significant resilience and patience, and provided fantastic communication at all times.
We would highly recommend the services of Dom and Stratton, and would definitely engage them again in any future business sales.”
“We engaged Stratton Advisory to run a sell side process for Caspers Pies.
The ownership group of Caspers appreciated the thorough and discrete manner of the engagement conducted by Stratton. Dom kept us well informed throughout the process with all discussions and feedback involving industry players. Stratton ran a structured and formal engagement that resulted in a successful outcome we were extremely happy with.
I highly recommend Dom and Stratton to any business owner considering exiting.”
“Stratton Advisory was engaged to sell PMG Engineering using a formal and structured process.
Dom and Letitia ran an extensive and professional sale campaign, initially targeting the plastics manufacturing industry. They prepared a comprehensive Information Memorandum and provided us with regular updates throughout the entire process along with feedback from all parties contacted. This process resulted in a successful outcome we were extremely happy with. I have complete confidence in the Stratton team for any business owner considering an exit. Their expertise and professionalism make them an invaluable asset in ensuring a smooth and successful transition.”
