I’m particularly pleased that my corporate finance colleagues at PKF Brenson Lawlor who worked alongside me on this deal, have been given this industry recognition as I know how much hard work and professional knowledge was invested in ensuring the successful completion of the deal. I also would like to give due recognition to Mason Hayes & Curran Solicitors who advised on the legal aspects of the deal. Well done to everyone involved in helping to get this completed.”
