“A business needs to be prepared for sale; the cleaner your business is, the more you will get for it” – Robert Spenceley, South Lincs Foodservice

Speaking to BCMS after the transaction, Robert Spenceley of South Lincs offered insights into the sale process: “The business was getting to a stage where it was about to need major investment to take it forward, so we decided to look at all the options. I was surprised how many companies showed an interest in us, not only from our field but from other areas as well.”
