We have developed a successful business in a niche market and can now continue our journey with the backing of a thriving, like-minded company. With Premier Forest’s patronage and support, our business will continue to flourish.”

The deal was structured and completed with the support of Acuity Law providing legal counsel, Gambit Corporate Finance who supported the Premier Forest team throughout the deal process, and Kilsby Williams accountants, who conducted financial due diligence.
