Saga has been a trustworthy partner for us before and throughout this sales process. We want to thank the team for taking great care of the values created over three generations and ensuring that the Company’s interests, its employees, and other stakeholders are well maintained. Saga managed to achieve a good valuation for the business in addition to securing the softer, but equally important, values.
