We have successfully completed well over 200 transactions and the Richmond team has over 37 years experience.  We specialise in the following sectors:

  • Printing
  • Packaging

…and all sectors allied to the above - from greetings cards and creative & design businesses to engineering companies with a printing and packaging bias.

We offer support in the following areas:

  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Business Disposals including Exit Planning, MBO/MBI’s
  • Succession Planning and ‘Grooming for sale’
  • Strategic Consultancy/Advice including Corporate Strategy

We are London based but with a national, and indeed, global reach. Our clients are typically mid-market/SMEs within the above sectors needing professional support/strategic advice in realising strategic objectives, including how to sell a business. However, we also regularly support private investors, management teams, private equity houses as well as quoted companies.

Whatever your strategic direction, we are with you every step of the way. We project manage the whole deal from initiation to completion and are in continual contact with our clients.

Our support is practical, results orientated and fully committed. It is provided by a dedicated, fully qualified and professional team who really aim to make a difference for our clients. Our work is based on practical, industry specific applications which are fully proven and totally ethical.
