Fraser Fisher, Centric Networks Ltd

My Company, Centric Networks Ltd, was acquired by Maxima Holdings plc in July 2007. Centric provides 24x7 managed infrastructure, datacentre and security services to a broad range of clients in the mid-market. Our expertise is in operating systems, networking, security and remote access.

We engaged Westchester to advise and guide us in finding the right strategic partner to acquire our company, to provide us with the opportunity to increase the range of skills that we can offer to our clients and to continue our strong record of growth.

Westchester did a first-rate job keeping the process simple and efficient. Not only did Westchester keep it simple, clean and easy to understand, just as they defined even before they were appointed as our advisors, but they guided and coached us most effectively along the route. Importantly their excellent management of the process meant that it had minimal impact on our day to day business. Very quickly after starting the project they took us to market. They arranged meetings with the management teams of selected potential buyers who fitted the criteria of our brief and then brought each situation to a conclusion very effectively. Throughout the sale process, they were very responsive and always available whenever required.

It was a pleasure to work with Westchester and I am pleased to be a reference for them with others. They do exactly what they say.
