Here are just a few of the kind things clients and others have said about us.

“Following interviews with several potential advisors, I began working with EMC in the summer of 2007 and Terry Rainback and I worked together to assemble my ideas into a comprehensive business plan that we used to raise the investment and bank funding. Having someone with you who knows their way around the corporate finance world has made an enormous difference and I know Terry’s experience will be invaluable as we implement our growth and development plans in 2008 and beyond.”  - Jason Woodford, CEO, Academy Internet Ltd

“We always knew that becoming part of Primavera was a likely option but the actual negotiations were complex as we had five shareholders with different holdings, all of whom, quite rightly, wanted to be involved in the process. Desmond [High] was able to manage each individual’s expectations whilst also driving the best deal for the team as a whole. His hands-on involvement allowed us to remain focused on our business during a challenging few months, and we are delighted with the outcome.” – Sarim Khan, CEO, Pertmaster Ltd.

“Cross-border negotiations are always difficult and it was essential that there were clear lines of communication between the parties. From my point of view the relationship we built with Desmond [High] was critical to the success of the deal. Inevitably there were differences of opinion on some fundamental matters but he represented his client’s best interests professionally and fairly, and we found ways of resolving these differences amicably.” – Mitch Codkind, CFO, Primavera Systems Inc.


“I would like to thank Nik Askaroff and the team at EMC for guiding us through the deal. We could never have completed the deal without them.” – Peter Dangerfield, MD, Owl Video Systems Ltd.


“Desmond and EMC have been part of our team for most of our business life, and made a huge contribution to the company’s development. We’ve had our moments along the way, with him trying to curb my wilder entrepreneurial zeal on occasions, but as with the best teams it is important to have that balance.” – Judy Behl, Scenic Blue


“Having been acquired from a large group by a chairman resident in the UK, we have enjoyed working with EMC’s Chris Harvey. He fills a skills gap in our management team, provides a flexible resource when we need it and is useful as a sounding board across many areas of the business. His extensive experience greatly assists us and our two-way communication with the chairman.” – Igno Peters, MD, Bell ID BV


“The actual negotiation process was complex as we had minority shareholders who had different objectives. Consequently it was essential that we used EMC to manage the entire process as they were able to balance the needs of all shareholders. We understand software but this corporate stuff is completely beyond us and we had total confidence that Desmond High and Terry Rainback would look after our best interests.” – Charles James, Axiom Connection Ltd.


“We have been impressed by EMC's ability to work with our business and conclude a complicated transaction whilst allowing our management team to remain focused on our clients.” – Jim Mitchell, Facilities Software International Ltd.


“As a Scotsman you would expect me to be careful with my money; nor am I easily impressed by professional advisers. In this instance EMC got a top price, particularly in the current climate. I paid regional fee rates and got a top quality service.” – Eddie Campbell, MD, Practical Print Solutions Ltd.
