Shaw Gibbs Corporate Finance served as the exclusive advisor to BSO shareholders on their strategic partnership and investment with Cairngorm Capital, a specialist private investment firm. Their involvement will give BSO access to industry expertise and the financial backing they require to realize their ambitious growth plans.
It was a tall order; therefore, we chose the smallest option in both large and small categories – an expedited sale process for the company’s plant and machinery assets. It was an incredible chance for one of our clients to exit the building supply business quickly and focus on their core businesses. Collaborating with Hilco was an absolute pleasure; we look forward to working together again!
