Supply chain: John Ward, Fasteq

A prominent figure in the business community in Scotland, John has extensive experience of the M&A process. Advised by BCMS, he sold engineering supply chain specialist Fasteq in 2012.

Fasteq’s problem was one experienced by many successful BCMS client businesses: the company was a victim of its own success, constantly being offered major new opportunities that it didn’t have the resources or capacity to deliver. In this short client testimonial, he discusses the “lonely parts” of running a business – and what it really feels like to sell your company.
