David Lonsdale, Partner at August, has been impressed with Meridian’s service.
He commented:
“We have been impressed with the high quality corporate finance advice provided by Meridian both during our initial investment in to Ocean Safety, when they were advising the vendors, and our follow-on acquisition where they have yet again delivered with Typhoon to further enhance the product offering and global reach of 3Si.
