“Nick is a very personable and effective negotiator. He is very adept at finding solutions and is a strong advocate for working hard to achieve the best outcome for his clients. Having worked with him many times over the last 10+ years I look forward to continue partnering with him and his clients in the future.”

“Having worked with Nick in realising my exit I can confidently say that he is a great partner to have in your corner. His patience, knowledge and persistence were paramount in our success. If I were to go through another sale then I would not hesitate to have Nick negotiate on my behalf.”

“Nick Lankester was the lead advisor representing our company’s interests when in 2018 we embarked on finding a buyer for our £30 million turnover logistics and freight business. For many, and certainly us, you only get to sell a business once so it was crucial that in our advisor we had a steady hand, a keen eye for detail and the acumen and experience to negotiate the best deal possible. Nick brought all of these attributes and more to the table and was an indispensable and reassuring presence throughout a process that can be both arduous and complex. The fact that we completed our deal from advisor appointment to completion in 10 months with a buyer and financial deal that exceeded our expectations is testament to the quality advice and guidance Nick delivered throughout.”

“I have worked with Nick for over 5 years and regularly recommend him to my clients. Nick understands the commercial drivers both for his clients and for the acquirer and delivers the right results for his clients. Nick makes the process very easy both for clients through standing firm on the right issues and letting his clients make the right decision on certain aspects. He explains everything very well and communicates clearly and regularly to keep projects on-track.”

"Nick represented my business partners and me when we were selling our business. He took the time to get to know us and understand our business, gave us solid advice, and guided us through the processes involved which can be very daunting when you haven't done it before. He wasn't afraid to tell us some home truths about our business when we needed it - there's no BS with Nick! He has a wealth of experience and expertise and would be an asset to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. He is however South African, but don't hold that against him!"
