We work with Knight on an on-going basis and their knowledge of our business and their experience of working with Finance Wales ensured that we could secure the required funding with no disruption to the business. Knight knew what was required and ensured that the decision for Finance Wales and the process to completion was very straightforward.

We first worked with Knight when they helped us secure funding from Finance Wales in 2015, and just over a year later Knight were approached by Nuvias who were looking to add UC and technology integration expertise to their portfolio. Knight introduced us to Nuvias and subsequently managed the process through to a satisfactory completion for all parties.

Before Net started working with Knight CF, the structure of the business was not focused, board meetings were infrequent and generally concentrated on the operational side of the business. In contrast, with Knights guidance and support, board meetings are now held every month, each board director is focused on the financial performance of the business, and as a group of directors, with Nets senior managers, we are now working together as a team, towards a well-defined business plan and strategy.

Knight's unique industry contacts opened up the opportunity with Jersey Telecom and they showed professionalism throughout a lengthy and often emotional process.

Knight ensured that the banks fully understood what a great opportunity this was for them and created a level of competition that we had never experienced before.

Knight’s professionalism and calmness gave me a great deal of reassurance during what was a very difficult due diligence process. Their negotiation of the consideration on our behalf and maximising the price achieved was also very impressive.

Knight found the right buyer for our business and were instrumental in ensuring that the deal completed after a lengthy and difficult process.

Knight CF took time to understand my future personal and business requirements and find the right deal structure for me. I was looking to realise some of the value in my business, and at the same time believed I could deliver the full potential of Callstream as part of a larger group organisation. Knight CF was instrumental in ensuring that the deal with Bluebell Telecom Group addressed all my aspirations.

Sam and the team at Knight were invaluable in identifying the ideal partner for our business. Their understanding of Blue Bay and experience in the sector allowed them to quickly identify and engage a range of interested parties and the competition in the process ensured we were able to negotiate a superb deal that exceeded our expectations.

Knight's knowledge and experience helped to ensure that the deal completed smoothly and we were ready and prepared to provide a seamless handover to new partners.

Knight were always on hand for us and delivered a deal within incredibly tight timescales. They were a pleasure to deal with and delivered on their promises.

We recognise and appreciate the value that Knight bring in advising us on our strategy and ensuring that our focus is on long term goals.

Knight took the time to understand our aspirations for the business and were able to tailor the process to target the most appropriate transaction for us. In the end, we chose a trade sale as it enabled the Founders to exit fully at completion. Knight managed each aspect of the sale process and their experience and relationships with both the buyer and our team proved fundamental in ensuring the transaction completed on time and on expectation. Needless to say, we are delighted with the outcome.

Knight proved adept at ensuring that all shareholders’ interests were taken care of in the transaction with J2 Global, and were key to keeping the process going when things got difficult between a fragmented shareholder base.

Working with yourself and Laura on the transaction was an absolute pleasure. The advice and support received, ensured we had the right buyer and the most appropriate deal structure for both parties.

It has been a real experience working with Knight over the last few years. The MBO enabled me to drive the business forward and Knight’s experience ensured we were focused on shareholder value as well as delivering the best service experience to my customers. When the time was right Knight was able to identify and target the right acquirers, manage the sales process end to end, and ultimately deliver the best buyer for the business.

I was delighted with the way that Knight managed the process and found me the right buyer and a deal that I was very satisfied with. I’d previously been involved in the disposal of another business and found the process tortuous and stressful, but having Knight on board kept the whole process running smoothly.
