Just After Midnight

When it came time to begin a process WY worked tirelessly to match our plans for the business with the search for a potential partner. WY Partners identified Ultima as a potential buyer and led the subsequent process; their judgement, investment knowledge, and collaborative approach ensured we made the best decision. They delivered value at every stage and were instrumental in the successful sale of our business. They felt very much part of our internal team throughout, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to owners considering the sale of their business.
