Lynn , 13 Dec 2018 Amazing job Benchmark – we can now happily move on with our new-found retirement. After some ill health and moving away, I found it ever more difficult to run the salon and that’s when Benchmark stepped in to help! They set up a viewing and called a number of their buyers and negotiated everything from start to finish. Great achievement and great result. I am grateful for your help and appreciate everything you have done for me and now I can relax and let me salon go to a great new owner

I am truly impressed by your negotiating skills and also your dedication to us as clients. We appreciate the amount of work you put into getting the job done which was well beyond what should have been required. My experience with Benchmark is beyond what we could have expected and you have helped for us to realise a life long dream which will help set our family up for the future.  You also gave me the best advice i have ever heard and i am sure to use it in all parts of my life in the future. “Next person who’s speaks, looses.” Absolute gold! Best wishes for the future. Melissa and Matt Hopper. Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Jacob Rudge, May 2021 - I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, his knowledge of business and his inherent integrity shone through in every aspect of our dealings with him and we will certainly continue the relationship in years to come.
