"I have known Ray Gilroy for about 30 years and I have been speaking to him “off and on” about selling my business for the past 3 years or so. When I finally decided to put it on the market Ray was my first call. The support I received from Ray was second to none. Ray was extremely proficient, always accessible and looking after my best interests. When it went on the market we had a lot of interest and Ray went through and sorted out people that he didn’t think would be suitable for my staff, my customers and the business going forward. This made me realise that for Ray it was not just about selling a business it was finding the best outcome for both me and the purchaser. Ray is extremely knowledgeable and the way he structured the sale gave me the best monetary outcome I could have wished for. I would highly recommend Ray Gilroy to anyone considering selling their business. He is very passionate about what he does and I am extremely grateful for his knowledge and support."
