I stayed on as a consultant for several months after the sale to help them learn and integrate into the business, they are very quick studies. During this period I found they worked very well with all the long term employees, this was very important to me. There was lots of laughter and happy employees.

"We are incredibly fortunate to have connected with Hazelton after several unsuccessful years of attempting to purchase KPS on our own. Their approach of supporting a management purchase ensures total alignment, putting them in your corner, enabling you to negotiate together as a team for the best possible outcome. Dave and Andrew aren’t brokers, they buy with you, investing in your ability to continue to make the company a success.
More importantly, they are great business partners, never short of positive energy or thoughtful counsel to support you in your journey as a business owner. Further, we find their deep understanding of accounting, banking and tax strategy to be critically important to the operation of the company. I would recommend them strongly to anyone looking to purchase a company they currently manage." Paul Dalzell, President of Keith Panel Systems |
