Associate Partner, Holly Threlfall, leads legal team in successful sale of national recruitment agency

Selling your business is never easy, but selling during the pandemic is another ballgame altogether!

Switch Consulting was established in 2008 and Martin Wells and Alex Foxell toiled over 10 years to develop the company into the successful recruitment agency that it is, with offices in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Specialising in the retail, leisure and hospitality industries they faced challenges, as we all did, in the early months of this year. However, with a strong trading history behind them Alex and Martin nevertheless secured a buyer and successfully completed on their sale in the summer amidst the pandemic.

Leading the sale Holly Threlfall, Associate Partner & Corporate Solicitor at Franklins, says “It was a pleasure to work alongside Martin and Alex in their sale. Guiding them through the disclosure and due diligence process and advising them on the Share Purchase Agreement may have been a little different this summer, but ultimately we were still able to successfully navigate the sales process keeping our clients’ interests at heart.”

Pleased with the transaction, seller Alex Foxell says “Holly and her team were superb from the very start of the process through to post-sale. Great rapid and responsive communication that was also very flexible. Solid and wise counsel and advice that guided and supported us through the sale process. This was particularly impressive given the need for everything to be conducted remotely. Overall the quality was very good and I’m very happy to highly recommend Holly and the team.”

Franklins would like to congratulate all the parties involved on a successful transaction and wish them the best of luck in the future.
