Our Team

"From the start it was clear we had chosen the right representatives for our business. Geoff, Khilan, Dani, Greta and team took the time to understand the business, our proposition, value metrics and goals for the business and personally. They had a very strong grasp of the buyers’ market as a whole, were able to help us navigate a sensible and exclusive process, offering insight we would not have received from other providers. They were invaluable in helping us select other advisory teams for the transaction, help schedule a timetable that was in line with our objectives and ensuring that we were best positioned to move forward at each stage. The attention to detail, the availability and general camaraderie that we had in place with everyone at PCB made what was an incredibly challenging and complex process, far easier by having them in our camp. A really fantastic experience, I would recommend them to anyone in our position. "

"Solutions Integrator Insight recently acquired award winning software development and digital services specialist Amdaris. The acquisition added Amdaris' innovative software development, application support, managed services and consultancy services to Insight's broad solutions portfolio and IT supply chain capabilities. Throughout the acquisition, we were able to rely on PCB Partners as trusted M&A advisors, supporting Insight from the early evaluation stages, bringing the different parties together around the table and adding valuable insights up until the successful close. It has been a pleasure working with Ben Doltis, Brett Newland and team at PCB Partners throughout the process, their expertise, guidance and responsiveness contributed greatly to the successful execution of this acquisition."

"We’re extremely appreciative for PCB Partners role in our acquisition of Pracedo. They were instrumental in helping us to make a compelling case to Pracedo as to why we would be a strong partner in the next evolution of their growth to become a leading SFDC partners globally. The PCB team was extremely responsive, attentive to detail, and dedicated to producing the best outcome possible for Collabera Digital. Their support extends to all facets of M&A from sourcing to deal execution. This would not have been possible without the relentless folks at PCB."

"PCB Partners, led by Khilan Shah and supported by Dani Patel and James Stafford, delivered an excellent result for Inciper Limited executing our sell-side process. Having had limited exposure to complex M&A activities, it was important for us to engage with a partner that could manage the complexities of the end-to-end process while understanding our non-negotiables for the outcome. We initially engaged with Ben Doltis and were then guided through the process by Khilan and team who produced high quality deliverables, managed the complexities and enabled David and me to focus on running the business with confidence that we would achieve the best possible outcome from the process. PCB Partners where the ideal partner for us and I would recommend them to other considering funding or acquisitions options. "

"We partner with PCB to find us special assets in particular market segments of Consulting and Digital Services. The PCB Partners have worked at senior levels in our industry and indeed have entrepreneurs in their firm, that have successfully built and sold their own consulting businesses. This first-hand experience, their technology domain expertise and their deep network of industry contacts, is a fundamental factor of their success. They always deliver to the brief quickly and discreetly, that ultimately has led in 2020 to two acquisitions in our UK region bolstering our Cloud capability and our Financial Services industry group."

"“The PCB team were a delight to deal with – from the initial conversation on the football pitch(!) through to navigating all deal mechanics in a very professional way. Whilst PCB were representing the buyer (Reply) I felt very comfortable with Ben and Andrew throughout the process and highly valued their professional input and judgment. Would not hesitate to recommend PCB to any founder who is thinking of selling their business – you will be in safe hands!”"

"We partner with PCB to find us special assets in the European IT services marketplace. Their deep network of industry leaders and corporate finance coverage in the technology services space helped immensely in gathering traction, delivering the brief and bringing the right businesses to the table. Ultimately, PCB were instrumental in providing support throughout the transaction and remained centre stage across important negotiations, helping achieve the right outcome for all parties involved."

"Congratulations Ben on this deal. We can all be very proud of this deal that will set the scene in the digital market in Italy, creating a new powerful champion for the digital growth of my country"

"We have been working with PCB Partners to accelerate our development in the UK. They brought a deep knowledge of the consulting market in the UK, which helped us to accelerate the screening and initiate meaningful conversations with relevant targets. And they added continuously value during the execution of the deal, securing the process until the closing. I look forward working with the team on new opportunities."

"PCB Partners, led by Khilan Shah and supported by James Stafford, ran a smooth and successful sell-side process for Three Plus Consulting. As founders who had not been previously exposed to the M&A market, we appreciated their network that enabled the definition of a potential buyer list, their guidance when receiving and negotiating offers, and their experience when conducting due diligence. PCB would make a great partner for any founders considering funding or acquisition options for their business, and we would recommend engaging with them. "

"We engaged PCB to assist us sourcing a distinct target asset in a specific segment. The task was essential to BIP's strategy to plug a gap in its capability to drive growth and momentum in key markets. It needed to be done discreetly and at pace, but with utmost professional qualification. Ben and Brett’s knowledge covers the gamut of the consulting market with deep and strong relationships with key mid-size European consulting assets. The PCB team delivered to the brief with a level of service that fully satisfied BIP and the firm would not hesitate in re-engaging to help in future critical activity"

"ECI successfully sold Edenhouse, the UK’s largest independent SAP consultancy, to Accenture in February of 2021. PCB Partners were instrumental in brokering the vital early stages of the transaction, by bringing the two parties together and ensuring the interests of all parties were aligned up front and early on in the process. This was an important and valuable exercise for ECI that ultimately led to a very successful outcome for ourselves, the founder and major shareholder in the business and Accenture."

"We use PCB as a trusted partner with specialised expertise. They work closely with our key stakeholders and have a strong understanding of our business. We have seen on many M&A strategic assignments that PCB has an intimate network and sector insights that we can leverage to inform our executive decisions."

"PCB partners is one of the few M&A specialists having an accurate vision on how trends currently at work in the company transformation value chain should be read. From my industrial investor standpoint, I trust their capacity to originate the right deal situations to fit our expansion strategy and advise us on the best stance to smoothly close them."

"Proxima is a world-leading procurement and supply chain consultancy. In 2019, we decided to look at all the exit options for shareholders to provide liquidity and also support the business in its future growth ambitions. We appointed Tim Farazmand and his team at PCB Partners as Management Advisors to the team because they understood the sector and had deep experience of the private equity community. They provided valuable insights into private equity and helped the management team evaluate all options; in 2021 Proxima completed a corporate recapitalisation."

"Whether you are pro-actively planning to sell your company or have an interested party unexpectedly reach out you will need a partner that takes the time to truly understands you, your business and the process. I cannot recommend The PCB team highly enough for their professionalism, diligence, and real-world experience. Not only did Brett and the team help me navigate the complexity of the process and the mechanics behind the deal they ensured the deal was right for the right reasons - cultural fit, shared values, future sustainability, and growth. PCB were an integral part of getting a great deal over the line - from introduction to completion."
