Working with Greenaway Scott has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They are one of the most professional organisations I’ve ever worked with, and could not recommend them highly enough.
Phil Stephens, Socket Store Limited
We recently hired Greenaway Scott to handle our purchase of Arun Electronics Ltd. Our experience of the team led by Leanne Thomas was wholly positive with the process being handled professionally and sensitively. Leanne’s team were aware of the potential pitfalls, kept me informed and were thorough and diligent, leaving no stone unturned and dealt competently and considerately with negotiations. It was easy to contact the team and ‘nothing was too much trouble’. The fee was fixed at the start and there were no ‘nasty surprises’ at the end.
