Transferring the legacy of an industry leader is no small feat. For proud business owner Greg Coyle, the decision to sell Makmar marked a significant milestone in his entrepreneurial journey.

Transferring the legacy of an industry leader is no small feat. For proud business owner Greg Coyle, the decision to sell Makmar marked a significant milestone in his entrepreneurial journey. With years of dedication, substantial investments, and relentless efforts poured into the growth of Makmar, Coyle was determined to ensure that the business found its way into capable hands. Coyle set out with clear intentions to find a professional who could handle this responsibility while also sharing his desired outcome. His search led him to Alan Morpeth of LINK Business Brokers.

Morpeth boasts an extensive history of owning, managing, and leading complex organisations. Having grown up in the world of business, Morpeth’s qualifications are a testament to his expertise, holding a Master’s degree in business administration and proven experience as a Chartered Accountant. He is steadfast in his commitment to securing the best possible deal for his clients, ensuring each business finds a new home with utmost care and diligence, and making the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Coyle himself attests to the value of this partnership. “There were many highlights in working with Alan Morpeth,” he reflects, “the professional marketing strategy and the overwhelming interest from prospective buyers were incredible. Alan genuinely wanted to understand how our business operated.” Coyle further expresses his satisfaction with the service provided by Morpeth.

Throughout the entire sales process, Morpeth left a lasting impression on Coyle. “Alan is not only likeable and professional, but he made a point of understanding our needs,” he states. “The sale process had its share of ups and downs, but Alan assessed each obstacle and acted accordingly. Things ended brilliantly!”

Morpeth’s tireless dedication to achieving exceptional results is evidenced by his skilled approach to facilitating business transactions. His method keeps vendors, like Coyle, engaged and informed at all times. “Many obstacles arose during the process,” Coyle says. “We discussed them, bounced ideas, formed a plan, and then executed it.”

Morpeth receives nothing but praise from Coyle. “We chose Alan because of his likability and professionalism, in every aspect of the sale, these qualities shone through and helped us achieve the results we wanted.” Coyle continued to voice his satisfaction and strongly recommends Alan Morpeth and LINK Business Brokers.

For those considering the sale or purchase of a business, partnering with Alan Morpeth of LINK Business Brokers offers an exceptional opportunity to achieve the results you desire. With an in-depth understanding of the intricate business landscape, having Morpeth on your side is an invaluable asset, ensuring your venture transitions seamlessly into its next chapter.
