Acquisition & Merger
We were hired to oversee the acquisition and mergers of two local competitors in the Real Estate industry. Our services included:
Management Consultancy: We supported our client during the negotiations, completion, and post completion. We helped design and implement systems and processes to align the businesses and create standard operating procedures that would optimise their performance and efficiency. Post completion, we created and oversaw a strategic plan for growth, which saw a 25% increase in revenue in the first 12 months. We continue to support the leadership team with ongoing mentoring and advice.
Project Management: We led the team and oversaw the transfer of data, onboarding of clients, and recruitment and training plans for additional colleagues required as part of the scale up. We ensured that all the tasks were completed on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to the existing operations.
Interim Management: We filled the gap of a Senior Manager and filled knowledge/experience gaps within the existing leadership team at a critical time for the business. We also took charge of business development and ensured the smooth integration of the businesses. We managed the communication and collaboration between the different teams and departments, and resolved any issues or conflicts that arose during the transition. As part of our exit strategy, we assisted the leadership team with the recruitment and training of a Senior Manager, who took over the day-to-day operation.
Our client was delighted with our services and the results of the merger. They have become a leading player in their market and have a strong competitive advantage.
Client Testimonial
We write this to convey our immense thanks to Bill Neech at Sands & Co .
Bill came into Abbott & Abbott just over a year ago to help us co-ordinate the takeover of several new businesses. I doubt that we could have found anyone more skilled or personable than Bill.
We needed new structures in place to facilitate the smooth transition of the takeovers, and Bill was extremely competent and immediately saw the areas that needed to be actioned, and wasted no time in getting down to work and swiftly putting the necessary infrastructure in place. This really did improve the whole business transaction and ensure that we did not loose any of the existing or new customers during the takeover process.
Bill is very much a people person, he can work alongside any member of staff, Director or team and we have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like him! Furthermore, his front of house customer skills are second to none and we found that all our customers really liked him and he negotiated some excellent deals for our business, both attracting new customers and enlarging existing customer business.
We could go on and on detailing his positive input into our business, but obviously nobody wants to read that much information. We do not have a bad thing to say about him or the service he gave and continues to give. Everyone should have a Bill!
I am more than happy to discuss Sands & Co further with anyone who would like more detail.
