“David was a pleasure to work with. This company received quite a lot of interest upon entering the market. We worked hard to bring him a buyer quickly, but after a few meetings, it was clear that the buyer needed to be someone in the industry. These groups came to a quick agreement, and no time was wasted moving forward. The new entity will truly be a game changer when it comes to high-end food imports." – Jonathan Blair,
Senior Associate, Benchmark International.
