“Hyde Park Capital has a long history of guiding the negotiations on business transactions and satisfying customers’ objectives. Selling my company after 30 years was momentous for me. I needed an investment bank I could trust to ensure a successful outcome. I couldn’t be happier thanks to the Hyde Park team. The positive outcome was a direct result of the hard work and professionalism made on my behalf. Throughout all phases of the sale process right up until the closing, there was attention given to every aspect of the transaction.”

Jan Greenwood, Ph.D., Partner, President, and CEO of Greenwood/Asher said “When considering the possibility of selling our company and identifying an investment banking firm that could excel at matchmaking us with possible buyers, Hyde Park Capital was highly recommended to us by our wealth advisors at Merrill Lynch. One of the most important considerations for us was a firm that understood and valued our company’s culture, uniqueness in our specialized industry, brand, and the legacy we have created for our employees, affiliates, and clients. John Hill and his team at Hyde Park Capital demonstrated incredible patience and guidance, creativity, and focus and completed a sale during the Covid-19 crisis. We are probably one of a limited number of companies that completed all aspects of a sale without the buyers and sellers meeting in person and accomplishing everything through technology including Zoom and MS Teams meetings. This speaks to Hyde Park’s team being effective in establishing trust for everyone involved, their business competence, the art of deal making, and human relationship skills.”

"In 2020, our CEO and I found ourselves sitting on a buyer’s offer to acquire Electric Supply. Our recently hired M&A attorney introduced us to Hyde Park Capital. Our bank’s president made it clear that with Hyde Park Capital, we were partnering with an excellent investment bank which was going to take great care of us.
Hyde Park honored our request to handle our need in a confidential manner as they set out to find potential buyers who understood our business, would provide a good return to our family shareholders and provide a good future for our entire team. With Hyde Park’s guidance, we thoroughly and quickly reviewed three offers and decided to sign a LOI with the private equity group that checked all the boxes (familiarity with our industry, financing in place, stability for our team and a strong offer with minimal contingencies).
Within a month of our closing target date, it appeared the process might stall. Hyde Park would not allow it and pushed to keep the process moving. Thanks to Hyde Park’s resolve, we closed a day earlier than expected. The Hyde Park staff was professional, courteous and willing to work regardless of where or when needed. The bottom line is we completed a deal that was beyond our family’s expectations and provided the best path forward for Electric Supply’s entire team."
