Why clients across the globe trust us to grow and sell their business:

“Berry Global (NYSE $10 billion market cap) chose MCA to lead the exit of our non-core activities in the Australian market. The team managed the two divestitures from end to end, providing strong support and advice to Berry at all stages in the processes to deliver successful outcomes. Jim and Peter excel in building close relationships with bidders, as well as with the management of the target businesses, and as a result are able to navigate through contentious and challenging discussions effectively, maintain momentum, and apply pressure where necessary.”

His high level of continued communication with potential purchasers under difficult circumstances during the Covid 19 Pandemic made things easier for us.
