Testimonials
Russell Merry and Neil Merry, former Directors
'We approached Meridian in December to assist us in our negotiations with Dorel. We have built an excellent business from scratch over 28 years ago and we felt that it was the right time to realise some value for our hard work and to provide the business with a new growth platform with the backing of a global conglomerate.
The Meridian team fully immersed themselves into the Hot Wheels business and we were impressed with their thorough and professional approach, leaving no stone unturned. They developed a very detailed understanding of the commercial and financial workings of our business very quickly and there is no doubt that we would not have been able to achieve the deal price and structure without this approach.
Darren and James were always fully on hand to answer any questions / concerns that we had and always provided commercial and sensible recommendations, involving other external experts at the appropriate time. Their tenacity and drive to get the deal over the line was exemplified in the last week of the deal when we were having multiple conversations with Canada, working tirelessly until the deal finally completed in the early hours of the morning.
We would certainly recommend Meridian to other businesses looking for corporate finance advice and we could not have achieved this outcome without them. Many business owners do not appreciate the sheer scale of the work required to sell a business, yet this process was made much less painless for ourselves by the proactive, supportive approach adopted by Meridian. Thank you very much Meridian for all your efforts.'
