Testimonials

Contracting Business, Southland

Claire is positive and bright, most reliable and trustworthy with the highest integrity. She is someone who took the time to get to know us and develop a clear understanding of our business.
When working with Claire we found her to be very obliging as to how we envisaged the sale of our business going.
She maintained excellent communication and always worked to find prompt solutions to any queries that arose between parties. She is a calm, careful negotiator and communicator who is able to liaise with potential purchasers, valuers, accounts and lawyers to ensure that due diligence is concluded promptly and accurately.
We hold Claire in the highest regard and have no hesitation in recommending Claire as a consultant who can add value in preparing a business for sale and assist with selling it.

Electrical Business, Auckland

Claire has previously been involved with the restructuring of our electrical contracting company over a period of 2-3 years.
During this time she not only provided ongoing support and operational advice for our daily business activities, but also greatly assisted us with our structure, planning and business strategy.
I have always found Claire to be honest, professional and a straight talking person who was more than capable of dealing with the hard and sometimes uncomfortable issues which arose on occasion within our company, and would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone.

Ross Jackson, McCulloch + Partners, Invercargill

I met Claire 8 years ago when she was employed as Office Manager for a large corporate client of our firms.
Claire impressed me with her ability to quickly grasp issues, her attention to detail and process and her ability to
communicate and relate to a wide variety of people including Directors, staff members, customers, financiers and other advisers.
She also undertook the HR function and internal accounts management for the company in conjunction with the
Managing Director.
During Claire’s time with the company a branch of the company was sold and Claire had a leading role in the sale
process, coordinating advisers and information to be provided to the intending purchaser.
This was a multimillion-dollar transaction involving earn out payments and the company used an external adviser to conduct the sale process who worked closely with Claire.
Claire handled this task admirably and spent additional hours ensuring that the transaction was completed on time and with the best interests of the shareholders at the forefront.
Her integrity, knowledge and communication was evident throughout this process and assisted in a successful outcome.
Upon completion of the sale Claire undertook a full system review of processes and procedures within the company and following this implemented the recommended outcomes.
Following her transition to self employment, the company retained her services on a consultancy basis for some time afterward. This speaks to the respect and trust she built with the Managing Director during her employ.
I encouraged and supported her to become a Director of COIN South – Southland’s Co-investment network and I have enjoyed working with Claire at Board level .Her ability to think strategically and add quality debate is a real asset to the Board .
