I’ve known Adam for many years and he has helped us grow the business through the introduction of senior candidates and businesses viable for acquisition. We acquired [XXX] in Glasgow through Adam and the acquisition has helped provide us with a strong presence in Scotland. Gambit has an extensive network of contacts and is a key contact of mine when it comes to making senior hires and considering business acquisitions.

Corporate Finance Recruitment

Aquisition

Retained by a national restructuring business to identify a team move / corporate acquisition in Scotland as a means to enter a new market and continue with our client’s UK wide expansion plans.

Edinburgh and Glasgow markets were thoroughly mapped and our existing network utilised to identify possible acquisition targets and Partners who could move across a team. Our Managing Director led on all the approaches to the key stakeholders on the target list and ensured NDAs were signed on both sides prior to discussions taking place.

Following six months of talks and a swift DD process, the acquisition completed, and our client entered the Central Belt in Scotland via Glasgow by acquiring an established, reputable and scalable 12 person business.
