COMPLETED DEALS

David and his team at M&A are top notch. Thanks to their contacts, experience, stamina and good humour, in a very challenging year, we were able to achieve an extremely satisfactory result.

Jeremy Redhouse

Founder at Redhouse

We started working with David and the team at M&A Advisory back in 2018. They worked very hard on our brief, making a number of introductions, one of which was to Elixirr International. We knew right from the first meeting, that Elixirr was a great fit for our business. Not only was there are strong cultural fit, but also we could immediately see huge potential to accelerate our growth and extend market reach. We are delighted that the deal has completed, and would like to thank David and the team at M&A Advisory for making the introduction.

James Frost

Founder at Coast Digital

We have recently completed the sale of the Together Agency through M&A Advisory who found us the perfect partner. David facilitated 10 chemistry meetings with prospective buyers, all which would have been an excellent fit. He is well connected and has in-depth knowledge of the industry and I would recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell.

Jonathan Turner

Owner at Together Agency

David dealt with us on the sale of our business which completed October last year. From the first meeting we could tell he had very good knowledge of our space and the latest moves within it. We were taken by David's honest and realistic consultative approach - at no point did he over-promise and so we were pleasantly surprised at the speed by which we had interested parties involved and ready to meet - one of which became our eventual acquirer. M&A deals are never simple or straightforward,and this one was definitely no exception, but David's experience and no-nonsense advice kept us level-headed and on track even during those frustrating and doubting moments.

Steve Jaggard

Founder at Further Digital Marketing

David, Michelle and their amazing team were exceptional with helping us find the "perfect fit" when we sold our agency. Great advice, unbelievable patience when (in our opinion) others might have pushed us down a route that wasn't right for us, and outstanding support. It is a stressful time and they kept me calm and very much under control. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Graham Darracott

Managing Director at DPC+UP

In my capacity as a Non Exec and consultant, I have used M & A advisory over the last few years for help in identifying potential buyers for Agencies and also seeking appropriate acquisitions for clients. I have always been impressed by his experience and contacts with the Agency world but also his personal approach which has led to successful outcomes. I would recommend David and his Team to any agency owners seeking to expand/sell or acquire.

Ian French

Chairman at Bunnyfoot

David and the team at M&A Advisory acted for me when I sold my agency, DBD Media, to Verb Brands. They were friendly, efficient and pragmatic, and had a really wide ranging network of potential buyers. The whole process ran very smoothly, and was pretty pain-free! I'd strongly recommend David to any agency owners looking to sell, or indeed in the market to make an acquisition.

Nigel Muir

Managing Director at DBD Media

I worked with David on the successful acquisition of my business recently. He was very helpful, has a deep understanding of our market (digital marketing), has a large network contacts who trust his recommendations and is extremely patient (thankfully); I would highly recommend him.

Matt Hopkins

CEO at Vertical Leap

David’s genuine understanding of the industry combined with his extensive experience in managing what can often be a stressful process made him a hugely valuable partner for us when selling Public. I highly recommend him.

Rhydian Fisher

MD at Public Creative

I always relied on David to have his ear to the ground in our sector and his vast knowledge of the agency world and relentless networking were fundamental to the success of our M&A plans.

Alex Cowell

MD at Cubeworks

David is the consummate M&A professional. He understands the agency sector. But having been through two separate M&As with David as an advisor, it’s the genuine empathy he applies in stressful situations, and his timely advice, that lead me to recommend him unequivocally and whole-heartedly.

Steve Richards

MD at Yomego

David was a superb partner in helping us to decide how and where to take our business. He presented us with an interesting mix of options and gave helpful advice at every stage. I’d highly recommend his services.

Debbie Hindle

MD at BGB Communications

Choosing a specialist Advisor to help support the sale of our business was a difficult decision. We selected M&A Advisory due to their specialist marketing industry expertise and competitive fee structure. Within 3 months, they had lined up interest amongst multiple buyers (Trade & PE) and secured 2 sensible offers, within 6 months we had closed the deal. Thank you David & his team!
