"Mercury were exceptional. Monthly eight hour board meetings brought rigour and focus while their laconic humour kept things cheerful. We made tough calls together that ultimately proved crucial and Mercury focused us on three crucial strategic goals that they knew would be important to acquirers.
When the exit window opened, the Mercury team orchestrated the entire process in masterful way – all the while keeping me informed about the rationale for every recommendation.
Choosing Mercury was one of the best business decisions I ever made."
“Many private equity funds will offer you money. Most will claim they bring strategic insights and networks to leverage your growth. Few will offer the respect that accompanies true partnership and commitment to work alongside you through the good times and the bad.
We enjoyed a great working relationship with the Mercury team, they were there when we needed help with the hard stuff, and they let us execute when we had it covered.
The highest compliment I can offer, is I’d do it all again!”
"Mercury were instrumental in the growth and evolution of our business. They were hands-on shareholder partners alongside me, helping us execute many of our growth projects - including opening new offices, recruiting senior talent, and evolving our BD approach and systems.
Mercury were highly collaborative and also brought experience across a wide range of other industries and businesses that we hadn't had before."
"Mercury were more a trusted strategic growth partner than an investor. They brought a powerful combination of management consulting, strategic finance and investment banking capability to the table.
But, they also invested time to deeply understand our business and build strong, collaborative and productive working relationships with leadership and the senior team. That created trust… they trusted us to run the business and we trusted them to navigate our growth path through to a very successful exit."
"Partnering with Mercury Capital was a very productive experience. They brought capital, discipline, and strategic thinking to accelerate our acquisition programme and professionalise the business, which contributed to making us a highly sought-after asset.
When the market conditions changed and the decision was to sell AAH, Mercury’s guidance through the sale process delivered an outcome for the founding shareholders that exceeded what any of us had originally envisaged."
"Mercury Capital was an exceptional partner in the growth of our allied health business. Their support, strategic focus, and commercial expertise helped us build a stronger business and significantly increase its value.
Without their partnership, I would never have achieved the successful outcome that I did."
"We teamed up with Mercury in 2013 to take a position in the self adhesive label market. Across eight years we completed and integrated seven acquisitions in AU & NZ. Hexagon became the holdco for a decentralised label group with annual revenue ~NZ$210m.
It would have been impossible without Mercury’s expertise, funding and most of all their ambition. They were pivotal in our M&A moves and very strategic in their governance approach. Together we built a highly profitable, competitively differentiated and disciplined business."
“Mercury took a hands-on approach to strategic planning from the outset of our partnership. This helped align our team around a common goal, identify the critical initiatives, and establish the right team, technology, reporting and processes to execute the plan.”
