We were delighted to host our annual Business Leaders’ Dinner in early November for 50 owners and directors  of strong and growing UK private companies. Over a delicious dinner at Michelin starred restaurant Hakkasan, guests heard from our clients, Chris and Tina Leach of Air Charter Service, on their experience of successfully selling their business, not once but twice, with the help of Corbett Keeling. As ever, it was an excellent opportunity for business leaders to network, whilst hearing first-hand about what it might feel like to sell a business, guided by Corbett Keeling.

In Chris’ words: "Step one is know your objectives and get a guide through the process, a straight guide like Jim Keeling – trying to do it on your own is just reckless. Honestly they’ve done it 1000 times. You absolutely have to have someone inside the process like Jim."
