Alan's clients

Alan works closely with both sellers and buyers on business and share sales and purchases, whether as one-off transactions or as part of a wider corporate strategy.

Experience and approach

As the desire to sell or pass the business on arises, Alan works with owners to ready their business for sale. He has a reputation for working with clients from an early stage in the sale process, helping them to maximise the value of their business and to make the process to a successful sale as smooth and profitable as possible for them.

Those clients of Alan’s who are on the acquisition trail are often in industries that are consolidating and he has a strong track record of advising businesses in the insurance, professional services and telecoms sectors.

He also advises a number of local and national charities in order to ensure their ongoing success for the benefit of the people they support.
