“Having managed the development of Sens-Tech since 1994, I wanted to own the business. I know Sens-Tech and our industry inside out, but an MBO was a whole new experience for me. Andy Pedrette and Brian Livingston at Smith & Williamson expertly guided me through the MBO process - from initial concept to negotiating acquisition terms, from finding acquisition funding to completion of the deal. I am delighted with the result.”

“When negotiating the sale of a business you’ve founded, you need not only the very best advice, but a team that can apply their experience to all the different aspects of the deal. Devising the right process, managing expectations and then executing the deal were all unfamiliar territory. The clear heads and wise counsel of the Smith & Williamson team were crucial to a successful outcome for both Illumina and All3Media. I don’t think we could possibly have been in better hands.”
Andrew Chitty, Managing Director, Illumina Digital Limited
