- Maximise deal success rate
- Pursue and deliver excellence in your inorganic growth strategy
The complexity of pre-deal due diligence and its relationship to successful post-merger integration requires thoughtful identification and use of advisers. BTD’s experience and professionalism has contributed to our confidence that this deal will create meaningful value for Glatfelter’s shareholders.
Chris Astley, Senior Vice President, Business Unit President, Glatfelter
We chose BTD in favour of other potential partners due to their customised, customer-focussed and flexible approach which did not come at any expense in depth-of-knowledge and practical hands-on experience in both the technical and cultural/softer aspects of M&A.
Monika Wiaderkiewicz, Transformation Program Manager, innogy
We built a strong relationship with BTD through the process, and I trusted them to let me know what was good for my business, even if it might not immediately be best for them.
Andrew Reynolds, Finance Director, Kallo Foods
BTD played a significant part in the acquisition process, and analysis from their cultural snapshot survey was useful to the entire management team. I would recommend that anyone considering an international acquisition should think about taking similar steps and would not hesitate to recommend BTD to other companies.
Ian Bowles, former CEO, Tribal Group
The assistance BTD provided was pivotal in targeting a number of high profile, high-value companies. The work performed was invaluable in providing a snapshot of the potential acquisitions scene within the UK marketplace.
Stuart Phythian, Managing Director, Watts Water UK
BTD brought a specific set of skills and experience to support our team when planning a large and complex merger. In particular their experience in creating effective change management plans and understanding of the challenges when merging very different international cultures was invaluable.
Kathy Swindley, Group HR Director, bwin.party Digital Entertainment
The value BTD adds to our integration journey is huge. I needed fresh eyes with a personal, agile and flexible approach, BTD did an assessment of our journey and quickly identified 3 core focus areas. The team blends in with us, adds experience and expertise and get things done at speed.
Claire-Marie Nasr, Head of M&A Integration, Dentsu
