I have worked with Sills for years and continue to be very impressed.
As CEO of Sleaford Quality Foods I was delighted with the work Sills & Betteridge very recently carried out for the group on the multi million pound acquisition of the land and building formerly occupied (following their closure) by Great Plains UK Ltd which site is directly opposite our current factory and warehouse. Having been looking for land for some time to meet the demands of our very rapidly growing business, our turnover is now in excess of £55 million, the location and the 8 acre plus site was perfect for us. I wanted the transaction completed very quickly so as not to lose the opportunity and to have minimum interference with our production. As suppliers of dried foods and spices to the food industry it was vital we did not let down our customers. I would like to mention the work which Martin Walsh, carried out. He worked very hard to ensure the transaction was completed to a very tight deadline. I have worked with Sills for years and continue to be very impressed.

I rate them very highly and would not hesitate in recommending Martin and the Sills corporate team to anyone buying or selling a company or business.
Corporate Partner Martin Walsh, led a team from Sills, who were an integral part of the team working on our recent multi million pound Management Buy Out of Battles Ltd. Sills worked tirelessly to complete the transaction against a very tight deadline. Martin used his significant transaction experience and legal knowledge to find practical solutions to the inevitable issues that arose and provided some particularly sage advice when we had our most difficult meetings with the Vendor. Sills service levels were excellent, providing a fast response to communications and immediately turning around the transactional documents.
