Hazlewoods has been instrumental in smoothly bringing this deal to life over the last few months and have been a fantastic supporting partner for the business over the last five years.
James’ knowledge of business transactions is simply phenomenal, and he seamlessly mixes this with a genuine and consultative approach - he is simply the best in the region. Thank you for all your support and guidance, absolutely superb.”
Chris Dunning-Walton, InfoSec People Founder“Working with James has been a pleasure from start to finish. Whilst the deal James supported us with was fairly black and white on paper, there were several areas that, once uncovered, made things more complex. James took the time to speak with me directly about the deal itself, and what it meant to the business.
In a world of economic uncertainty, it is paramount to the business that we have trusted advisers like Hazlewoods and James. I look forward to many more years of great business with Hazlewoods.”

“The success of the company is due to its highly skilled and loyal work force. The Shareholders have each been involved in the company for many years and it was important to us that the exit would enable, and not disrupt, another successful 75 years for Metalliform and its staff.
James and Tim respected that requirement, and successfully navigated the negotiations with that in mind.”
