Nice to Have 5 Minutes to Enjoy Sealing a Deal

After 6 months of due diligence, negotiations and strategic consideration, I was happy this morning to just kick back for 5 minutes and enjoy the reality that our deal to purchase STS has been finalised. Unfortunately it is only a 5 minute bask, as the hard work now begins with the acquisition effective from 1st November. Very happy however that Eddie and Dave will stay on to help steer the business as we work on growing it, along with all the existing staff. They've built a wonderful reputation, and my challenge is to only enhance it.

An exciting new chapter in our lives and very happy to be part of the cochranes group in to the future. We have worked very hard to ensure a smooth transition period with our employees and customers. We appreciate their support over the past 20 years and can only see positive synergies that they will feel in to the future.
