A day in the Ernest Wilson office.

An interesting day today which has seen me office bound as my car was booked in for a service and it's great to see just how busy the phones are throughout the day here at Ernest Wilson. Some great enquiries from potential Sellers came my way and I will be visiting them in the next few days to value their businesses.

I also met with a new applicant who has had enough of working for someone else after an external candidate was appointed to a job within his existing firm that he has been doing for some time and had applied for. We had a great meeting and made him appointments to view several businesses which are of interest to him.

If you would like to come in to the office for a chat to discuss the ins and outs of buying a business or raising finance, please contact me or any member of my team. You can reach me on 0113 238 2900 or by emailing me here. Alternatively, visit the Ernest Wilson website.

Ernest Wilson's this week welcomes Sarah Venamore to the business as a Sales Negotiator having had previous experience within an international company. Sarah certainly picked a busy week to start as the first full week after the Easter break is always an excellent time within the business buying community, particularly for purchasers searching for an exciting and profitable future.

Yesterday saw the usual flurry of activity for our negotiators doing everything possible to ensure the completion of a large number of business sales on behalf of our clients took place as anticipated, and I'm pleased to say that we had another excellent week for completions.

A busy week at Ernest Wilson

Keep an eye out on the Ernest Wilson twitter feed this upcoming week for some very interesting and profitable businesses which are about to come to the market. I have just been taking a look at the my own diary and the diaries of the other valuers which are all very busy next week.

I have been with Ernest Wilson since October of 1985 and as well as my duties on the board I also have an operational role as a valuer which takes me throughout the country valuing businesses and taking client instructions to market them for sale.

My role within the business can only be described as varied and most certainly interesting as no two days are ever the same. I have the pleasure of meeting a great deal of business people who own and operate a great many different types of businesses. Talking with such large number of business owners and valuing/selling their businesses certainly keeps you on your toes as you must always have at the forefront of your mind that what you do is very serious, after all, you are dealing with what is in most cases a clients' most significant commercial investment. Both myself and my entire team at Ernest wilson aim to provide a world class service to both buyers and sellers and if you wish to contact me I would be only too pleased to speak with you. You can contact me through our website, by email or by telephoning me on +44 (0)113 238 2900.

You can also take a look at the businesses we are currently marketing on our website at www.ernest-wilson.co.uk but I hope you will also return here to keep updated with latest in the Business Transfer market generally and also with news and views from myself.
