Buying a business

Here's what a few our clients have said about our specialist business sales services.

Followed by examples of deals we've completed at the bottom of the page.

"I am writing to thank you for your excellent work in selling this business. Having been on the market with three different brokers over the past two years, with no credible interest, we were delighted and surprised when you supplied two firm offers and a successful completion inside six months. Thank you very much for all your effort. I wish we had come to you first, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone seriously interested in selling their business."

Ian Blackburn - MD
Capital & Growth Ltd



"Lucas & Weston's approach to selling your business is simple but effective. They will listen and listen again. Only when they have a clear understanding of your and your business's needs will they recommend an exit and marketing strategy - usually with ruthless efficiency - rare attibutes in any business."

Keith Sawford - former owner
Sawford Engineering Ltd



"All I can say is “Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou”. The speed that Howard found a suitable buyer was very impressive and the personal touch when guiding me through the sale process really helped. This is the first time I have sold a business and I am very pleased that I chose Lucas & Weston. Worth every penny!"

David Taqvi - former owner
Palm Automotive Ltd (Vanstyle)



"I am writing to say a huge thank you for helping me to sell my business.

In many ways your business is much like that of a personal introduction agency.  At Attractive Partners we aim to find a ‘dream man or woman’ for our clients and at Lucas and Weston you aim to find the ideal buyer for yours.

I gave you such a tall order – “Please try to find me a buyer who genuinely likes people and wants to make them happy, someone who will retain my staff and ideally me too and if possible rent our huge offices from me”. 

I was surprised that you were able to generate so much interest in Attractive Partners and I really can’t thank you enough for finding me Chris and Ben, my ‘dream buyers’.

Your advice and support throughout was much appreciated."

Liz Fogarty - MD
Attractive Partners Ltd



"The criteria for a sale was cultural match as well as financial, to that end, the deal was perfect for all sides. Lucas & Weston were professional and always looked after my interests. The end result was satisfactory for everyone. Well done!"

Alan Ring - MD
AFR Ltd



"Excellent, reliable and regular communications. Helpful discussions at each stage of the sale of the company. The timetable of events was regularly monitored and mainly maintained."

Trevor Bowron
Former MD - Blore Bowron Ltd



"Very supportive - I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lucas & Weston. Howard is always to the point and tells it as it is rather than telling me what I might prefer to hear. I appreciated this very much as it enabled me to focus on the real situation more effectively. It has been a pleasure working with you."

John Butler - MD
Former MD - John Butler (Hatfield) Ltd



"Very professional, friendly, helpful and open with clear explanations. All that remains to say is - thank you very much for finding us a buyer!"


Anna & Tony Gardiner

"Thank you for all the hard work that went into selling our business. We found your friendly manner made communications easy and everything was conducted with professionalism. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wanting to sell their business. We are very happy to have sold our company and thank you for making this possible."


Colin & Donna Taylor
Moorland Holdings Ltd



"I have never sold a business before so when it came to putting the business on the market it was purely a stab in the dark. However, as it turned out it was some stab. I asked Lucas & Weston to market the business and from invitation to completion it took just 41 days. I am very grateful to Howard Weston for his expertise and professionalism."
