“With a very strong balance sheet, we had the desire to raise finance and capital to grow the business and were introduced to Paul Kaiser and the UNW Corporate Finance team to do an option analysis, who then provided us with a wide range of options. We eventually decided to go with the Business Growth Fund (BGF) and UNW led the process to a success conclusion. We eventually decided to enter an off-market deal with Novacap, a major French company. As managers, we needed to concentrate on the day-today running of the business and UNW’s support was invaluable. It’s been a fantastic working relationship!”

“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.”

Sunderland City Council regard Neville and his team at UNW as the leading adviser on funding and grants for inward investors, and we would always turn to them for support on any significant and strategically important inbound project.
