Amanda Phillips, director at Smith and Williamson, led the transaction supported by Joseph Sherry and Zach Francis, with further support from financial consultants Oaklins’ aerospace and defence experts Stephen Perry and Jason Kimball.
Peter Butcher and Howard Smith, joint shareholders of TMD, said: “Appointing the Smith and Williamson and Oaklins team was crucial in running an international process.
“The hands-on approach and deal experience was key to overcoming challenges during the process and the team always went the extra mile to help us achieve our objectives.”
