I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mike, Tully and Andrew for guiding me through a successful divestment process. The whole M&A task was alien to me, but throughout I felt guided, assured and informed by Mike and the team. I have only done this once, but I don’t think it’s possible that there are better advisers than Quercus. I would have no hesitation to recommend Quercus for any M&A activity.”

"Working with Mike Mortimor and the team at Quercus has been an amazing and exciting journey from beginning to end. Their attention to detail, knowledge, experience, and skill in handling all matters relating to corporate finance, has made the process an enjoyable and informative experience. Mike walked us through every stage of this adventure ensuring complete transparency, reliability, and integrity along the way. He navigated our path through tricky situations with class and respect, whilst maintaining a firm grip on achieving our personal goals as business owners. We are delighted to now call Mike a friend and look forward to our next adventure together.”

“Mike Mortimor was simply superb. Transactions are stressful - Mike’s adeptness in pulling together different strands of the process, using not just his Corporate Finance knowledge but also his ex-CFO experiences, allowed us to execute with confidence and pace. Grace and humour can often be a rarity in fiscal matters, but it is Mike’s natural style. This remarkable style combined with his sheer talent and his eagerness to engage whenever needed, was just priceless. Most importantly, I felt very supported throughout the whole process - on my terms, not anyone else’s.”
