Corbett Keeling supported Oldham from the earliest stages of its sale journey. Our Positioning and Readiness Optimisation (PRO) Review laid the foundations by assessing value, identifying opportunities to strengthen the business ahead of sale and preparing it for detailed buyer scrutiny. This preparatory work helped Oldham articulate its most compelling sale messages and gave the shareholders confidence as they embarked on the process.
Following the PRO Review, Corbett Keeling launched a global sale process, approaching a wide range of potential acquirers across trade and private equity. Leveraging our experience and our international Globalscope network, we generated strong interest from a diverse pool of buyers and guided the family through a series of competing offers. Throughout the process, we maintained competitive tension, coordinated management presentations and site visits, and negotiated across multiple deal structures and buyer types to secure the optimal blend of cash received, chemistry with the buyer and certainty of completion.
Managing a broad suite of financial, commercial, legal, tax, IT and property due diligence workstreams, we ensured momentum was maintained through to completion. This approach preserved value and delivered a result aligned with both shareholder expectations and ASDAM’s strategic goals.
