La Salle are delighted to have been shortlisted for the 2021 Insider Media 'Dealmaker Awards' for the advisory role in the Accrol purchase of John Dale Ltd.


The judges looked at deal size, deal volume, complexity of deals and this year also recognised organisations that stepped up and stepped in when others did not.


La Salle acted as sell-side advisors to Pauline and John Dale of John Dale Ltd (a Flintshire-based Wet Wipe Manufacturer for over 25 years) and agreed a deal with purchasers Accrol Group Holdings plc.


The sale took under eight months to complete from start to finish despite the country being in complete lockdown for most of the negotiation stage and bidding process.

 

Much of the deal was conducted remotely with limited in-person meetings. Uncharted waters for those involved but a great example of all parties coming together to get the best deal done.


The award ceremony takes place at Manchester Central on 28th October 2021 and features some of the region’s biggest names, dynamic challengers and most resilient players.
