BDO brought a cross-disciplinary approach to the mandate and was led by Tony Schiavello, Partner and National Head of M&A and Silvio, Director M&A, who worked seamlessly alongside Jason de Boer, Partner Corporate Tax and Head of Tax BDO. BDO provided negotiation support, financial, tax and commercial advice, and project management from initial offer stage, throughout due diligence and through to successful completion of the transaction. 

We met Silvio and Tony in October 2022 and they did a brilliant job in guiding us through to completion in April 2023. The advice we received was professional, timely and critical to the sale. BDO led the transaction and managed the various stakeholders to ensure we got the best outcome, and they were 100% available during the whole process.
