Richard Besse, joint founder of Ocean Safety said of Meridian, "Thank you very much for all your help over the past three years, the quality of your corporate finance advice was second to none! Your judgement of when to push and to back off in the process was brilliant.  It has been a pleasure working with you and look forward to working with you in the future."

Michael Barcia, director at Meridian commented, "The Team and worked with the joint shareholders over a period of time through which we built a great relationship.  We turned down a number of offers during the process, but once the right structure was negotiated, we worked closely with advisers on both sides to ensure as smooth a transaction as possible, completing the deal in eight weeks from signing Heads of Terms."
