The Challenge

Locate a UK or EU medium-sized dairy manufacturing company for purchase by the client, with strict confidentiality and the need to discriminate between credible candidates and either over-priced opportunities or facilities with hidden technical issues.

The Approach

  • Confidential enquiries using extensive industry contacts list
  • Industrial due diligence on candidate facilities
  • Technical assessment of process capability, equipment condition and remaining useful life
  • Discreet outreach via established relationships, not public broker channels

The Outcome

Project brief **completed within months**. The combination of an industry-insider contact base and rigorous technical due diligence delivered a credible acquisition target without disclosing the buyer's identity to the market.
