Our strong, pan-European transaction history in the sector gives us a thorough understanding of what companies need to enhance their positioning against their competition.  Our track record in exceeding value expectations for our clients
makes us the adviser of choice to the European mid-market.  Our typical
transaction size is € 30-500 million.

The best credentials we have are the companies we have advised. Transactions
and clients we have advised in the sector include a combination of major global
corporates (including Diageo, Golden Vale/Kerry Group and Sara Lee) private equity backed businesses (United Biscuits and Lyndale) and mid-market privately or
family-owned businesses (Sims Foods and Lonka). 

We also have a strong pedigree in Consumer Goods.  Amongst other transactions
in this area, we advised Crystal Group on its cash offer for Martin International
Holdings; the disposal of Lee Cooper to Matalan plc; and most recently the disposal
of Early Learning Centre on behalf of 3i.
