“Thanks to Entrepreneurs Hub for helping us through it all, it seems a very long time ago that we first met at the seminar on how to sell your business. We have been fortunate to have been greatly assisted throughout the sale by EH. Their understanding of the sale process and highly effective marketing of the company sale helped identify the right purchaser and a great fit for our business. Their dedicated support throughout the sale, and consideration of our wishes for the future of both ourselves and the company, has enabled us to successfully complete the sale with our ambitions achieved.”

“Many thanks to the team at Entrepreneurs Hub for their support throughout the sale process; something we couldn’t have managed without their help. With no previous experience, the journey was much more involved than envisaged and without their support we could never have continued running the business.”

“We brought in Entrepreneurs Hub to help us evaluate our exit options, and after careful consideration, we decided that an Employee Ownership Trust was the best fit for our situation. This structure allowed us to remain actively involved in the business while we focused on strengthening the new board, including recruiting a Managing Director to take the lead. As part of this process, we asked Entrepreneurs Hub to support us in that recruitment. They managed everything from identifying, approaching, and screening potential candidates, to overseeing and conducting the interview process. We were presented with several top-tier candidates and ultimately hired a new MD who has been an excellent addition to the business. We are extremely excited about the future of Durkin and Sons as an EOT and would like to express our sincere thanks to the Entrepreneurs Hub team for their invaluable support. We’ve already recommended them to other business owners exploring their options.”
