"We are grateful to Terry [Rainback] and Nik [Askaroff] for guiding us successfully through a process and transaction made a lot more difficult by the special issues surrounding the Icelandic banks. They handled highly complex negotiations with the major institutions with great skill and dexterity, showing tremendous focus and resolution. Their expertise, experience and attention to detail were instrumental in enabling the deal to be done. H&B is already the UK's biggest cheese distributor and this deal will help us grow further from a much strengthened base." Simon Yorke, Sales Director, H&B Foods
