We are confident that working closely with Theuns and his team we will grow the business of Hexagon in South Africa and the rest of Africa where we have operations in Ghana and Kenya. Thanks to Benchmark International and particularly Johann for facilitating the transaction.
If anybody comes to me and says I would like to put my company onto the market, Benchmark will be the first guys that come to mind. The way it [the transaction] was handled, I didn’t have to run around. When we had visitors brought by Benchmark, I knew they would be potential buyers. So, if somebody wants to sell their company I would recommend Benchmark, anytime.
