Testimonials - Kind words from previous clients

"I really enjoyed working with Howard on the sale of our business and with his help and guidance throughout the whole process, he made what is often a complex, emotional and difficult journey really straightforward, offering the appropriate advice and support along the way. I couldn’t recommend Howard and his services enough. If you are considering selling (or buying) a business, then you definitely need to chat to this man."

"We had the pleasure of working with Howard on the recent sale of both our businesses , all through the process he was able to manage expectations on both sides of the deal and was always focused on moving things forward . We can only say an absolute professional with a personal touch and an absolute pleasure to work alongside ! We cannot recommend his services highly enough and hope to work with him again in the not to distant future."

"I found out about Howard when he sent me a sales letter for a business he was selling at the time. It was so well written, so persuasive, I decided I'd hire Howard should I ever want to sell. The time came to do that this year, and Howard advised as planned. He did a fantastic job from start to finish. Organised, hard working, very friendly & approachable. You will deal directly with Howard all the way through too, which I think really made the difference. I have no doubt I'll work with Howard again, and would highly recommend him for buy/sell side advice on any deal."

"Very responsive and good advice. The process was clearly explained from the outset. Howard was a good adviser and was flexible enough to work with our requirements, even though they weren't optimal from a transaction perspective. I'd describe them as a safe pair of hands to sell a business. No BS and no fluff - straight talking and pragmatic."

“I have been going to Lucas & Weston for over 10 years and have successfully purchased and sold companies with them.  I trust their knowledge and advice in every aspect of the deal.  Before going to Lucas & Weston, I struggled to find an experienced qualified business broker who could get the deals done and understand the valuations. I've dealt with larger firms in the industry who sign you on and then relegate you to an account manager with little or no experience.  It was a waste of time, money, and energy. Howard has a unique way of making a deal happen where both buyer and seller are satisfied. I wouldn't go anywhere else”

“I appreciated you being easy to discuss with and for the hand held approach. Thank you again for all your help getting it
over the line at such an unusual time.”

“Lucas & Weston offer an accessible/user friendly approach able to relate to sellers, buyers and professionals at different, but appropriate levels. They are 'gloss free' and achieve results through their professional discretion and their ability to engage naturally with their clients.”

“Very helpful, supportive and knowledgeable approach throughout the process with a positive attitude to getting a deal done.”

“A very big thank you for all your efforts, belief and advice along the way.”

“You were very easy to get on with and were on the ball. It’s such a great feeling that it’s all over and thank you for getting me there.”

"Very good work Howard. We got from meeting to offer, to conclusion in a few weeks."

“Thank you for your excellent work in selling this business. Having been on the market with three different brokers over the past two years, with no credible interest, we were delighted and surprised when you supplied two firm offers and a successful completion inside six months. Thank you very much for all your effort. I wish we had come to you first, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone seriously interested in selling their business”

"Thank you for all your help. We were impressed that you could focus on our business and present it to a range of interested buyers which resulted in a very successful outcome.”

“Quality company. Quality service. Quality result.”

“We spent some time researching the business broker market. We choose Lucas & Weston because we believed the service we would get would be very professional, personalised, energetic and that we would not be lost in an overload of clients taken on as a 'numbers game'. Also the pricing structure was fair and results orientated. We were not disappointed in any of our expectations.”

“I would like to thank you for all your hard work and experience in completing the sale of Go New Recruitment. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to exit their company in the future.”

“Lucas & Weston's approach to selling your business is simple but effective. They will listen and listen again. Only when they have a clear understanding of your and your business's needs will they recommend an exit and marketing strategy - usually with ruthless efficiency - rare attributes in any business.”

“The service was very efficient and professional. They understood our requirements, were enthusiastic about the proposition, presented the company well, closed the deal and were very personable to work with.”

“Thanks very much for your support, reassurance and patience during the final drawn out stages of the process. I think I may have gone bonkers without your help.”

“All I can say is "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!". The speed that Howard found a suitable buyer was very impressive and the personal touch when guiding me through the sale process really helped. This is the first time I have sold a business and I am very pleased that I chose Lucas & Weston. Worth every penny!”

“You produced a good memorandum and turned a poor offer into a pretty good one.”

“The criteria for a sale was cultural match as well as financial, to that end, the deal was perfect for all sides. Lucas & Weston were professional and always looked after my interests. The end result was satisfactory for everyone. Well done!”

“I am writing to say a huge thank you for helping me to sell my business.

In many ways your business is much like that of a personal introduction agency. At Attractive Partners we aim to find a 'dream man or woman' for our clients and at Lucas & Weston you aim to find the ideal buyer for yours.

I gave you such a tall order – "Please try to find me a buyer who genuinely likes people and wants to make them happy, someone who will retain my staff and ideally me too and if possible rent our huge offices from me".

I was surprised that you were able to generate so much interest in Attractive Partners and I really can't thank you enough for finding me Chris and Ben, my 'dream buyers'.

Your advice and support throughout was much appreciated.”

“Excellent, reliable and regular communications. Helpful discussions at each stage of the sale of the company. The timetable of events was regularly monitored and mainly maintained.”

“Very supportive - I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lucas & Weston. Howard is always to the point and tells it as it is rather than telling me what I might prefer to hear. I appreciated this very much, as it enabled me to focus on the real situation more effectively. It has been a pleasure working with them.”

“Very professional, friendly, helpful and open with clear explanations. All that remains to say is - thank you very much for finding us a buyer.”
