Sandie Jenkins
Senior M&A Consultant
I have had the privilege of working with many types of businesses and owners over the past 30 years. This experience has provided me with an extensive commercial and financial skillset to help our clients achieve their goals.
My role feeds into all aspects of the buying and selling process with specific focus on client well-being, quality and timings. From project management, content creation, market engagement, through to due diligence, we work around our clients, not the other way round.
Customer satisfaction, attention to detail, and an ability to deliver the right outputs at the right time is absolutely crucial.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family and our herd of cats. If I’m not in in the kitchen rustling up the Sunday roast, I’ll be out and about at garden centres.
Victoria Burns-Price
Senior Research Consultant
I focus on the research side of your buy or sell journey. I conduct market research early on, identifying exactly what is going on in your market. I will be your eyes and ears throughout the whole process, uncovering everything there is to know in your sector, while looking out for trends that could influence your buy or sell transaction.
It’s my job to work with you to help agree a research strategy, coming back to you with a detailed report on target companies. I’ll be there to address any of your questions or concerns – there are no stupid questions as far as I’m concerned. I’m known to be calm and approachable so hopefully you’ll feel at ease from day one.
It’s safe to say I like to be busy – I’ve recently graduated with a PhD in Medieval History and spend most days chasing a small toddler. If there’s any spare time after all that, you’ll find me cycling or doing some yoga.
