To address this, we maintained strong, consistent communication with all parties. Although this led to some difficult conversations, our proactive approach helped us navigate these challenges by ensuring everyone’s concerns were heard and addressed. By fostering open dialogue, we were able to mitigate risks and ultimately construct a deal that worked for all stakeholders.
"I and the Imagineear team enjoyed working with Matt, Sriram and Poppy and we are delighted with the investment deal that Buzzacott helped us to shape in the course of a transaction that required tact and considerable patience. They were good to their word throughout and the result is an excellent one for Imagineear."
