Our client says…

John Strobel
Former President & CEO

Central Warehouse Company

“Selling a business is difficult. It is a complex and daunting task. Often the transaction is complicated by intense emotions. This was especially true for me as the 4th generation owner/operator of Central Warehouse Operations, Inc. I needed a partner in this adventure who would take control, focus solely on my best interest and track the thousands of details capably. I needed absolute confidence, complete trust, top flight financial savvy and more than a little emotional support.

I found all of this in John Herubin of EdgePoint Capital. He and his team stuck with me through several near deals, the long dry period of the recession and in the end found the perfect buyer for us. Peoples Services, who bought my company, is a great home for my employees and a great operator for my clients. The price was solid, the transaction smooth and the results were positive for all.”
