“The opportunity to develop our team of young, talented individuals who have been educated, not only on all systems but also understand our culture and how important they are to the success of the business, is really exciting for us.”
James Twigg, Chief Executive Officer and Sharon Garton, HR Manager at TIS.

“M&A offers a great opportunity to realise the value of your life’s work. Business owners need to have a succession or exit plan as they look towards retirement or to be able to explore other interests.”
Shaz Hussain, M&A Director at CSL Group
“Upgrading customers can sometimes be a challenge, especially at a time where costs are rising in other areas. It was vital for us to speak directly and openly with our customers to ensure they understand the potential ramifications if their connectivity stopped working.”
