As part of the process of divestment from non-core activities Gentoo engaged UNW as advisers in early 2015. We have worked closely with them on three transactions and have been impressed with their insight, professionalism and dedication. The team were hands on and quickly got to know the businesses and the key drivers behind the transactions, this approach proved to be invaluable as the transactions have progressed.

“At Age UK Northumberland, a senior finance role became vacant and after an initial search for an appropriate recruitment agency a trusted colleague recommended UNW strategic Talent service as a potential partner. UNW Strategic Talent was chosen from a number of potential agencies as the front-runner based on their expertise in sourcing suitably qualified and experienced finance professionals. Upon review, their proposal was accepted and was fully delivered within the desired timeframe. The successfully appointed candidate has been in post since January 2018 and has all the skills, knowledge and experience that we were looking for.”

“The functionality and robustness of the model that was delivered by UNW was very impressive, particualrly the ability to model the existing core estate, new branches and acquisitions, and then aggregate them together with an overall consolidation of the group companies UNW worked on. Ramsdens has had a fantastic year including floating on the AIM Market, and thanks to UNW’s financial model, the working capital report and the scenario modelling became one of the easiest tasks in the entire process. We thank UNW for all of their great work throughout.”
