BKL was appointed by Bonds to negotiate and advise on all financial and commercial aspects of the transaction.
Karen Waters, Founder of Bonds Worldwide, commented: “Jamie Johnson was introduced to me to help with the sale of Bonds Worldwide Holdings and Bonds Worldwide Express. I found his knowledge of handling the sale to be superb with constant recommendations and advice on how we moved forward. Jamie’s efficiency in the due diligence stage was so very helpful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie and BKL as a valuable part of any business sale. A lot of the stress was taken out for me by BKL’s efforts and the sale went as smoothly as could be possible.”
