We’re always proud to share the success of our deals, but don’t take our word for it – see what our clients say.

“With an ever-increasing amount of data available to businesses, many are struggling to make sense of this valuable information. This can prove vital in understanding what is causing business outcomes, and what can be done to change them. Our platform is able to rapidly analyse millions of words and compare them across a range of variables to highlight the critical differences in consumer language, helping to explain market trends, customer behaviour and provide actionable insight including making communication more effective with target audiences.

“Having seen rapid growth over the last four years, the business is now embarking on the next stage of its journey as we expand in the US. We believe that YFM is the ideal partner to support us. As well as having an established track record scaling SaaS businesses, they have a real understanding of our market and are a great fit culturally – we like the team and are confident they will add real value.”

Ben Hookway
CEO

“We would thoroughly recommend ICON. Brian’s advice was invaluable in steering us through the complexities of the exit process. A combination of his deal experience and ICONs ability to maximise competitive tension in the exit process at key moments was key in getting the best deal for Edale shareholders.”

James Boughton
Managing Director

“Whilst I and two other shareholders had some previous M&A experience, the sheer depth of Brian’s knowledge meant he was able to provide that invaluable additional guidance and advice needed through what is always a complex process. We undertook an extensive “beauty parade” before choosing ICON and having now successfully completed the sale to Calnex feel completely vindicated with our selection. The shareholders are delighted with the overall deal and know Calnex are the right acquirer for the business, our employees and our customers.”

Graham Wood
CEO

“Since our inception in 2015, we have been working hard to fulfill a vision; one where companies would be able to create and manage their own AI and Data Analytics Factory simply and autonomously. OVHcloud quickly became a trusted partner for deploying our solutions. Today, I am delighted with this alliance which will allow us to jointly provide companies with a new generation of platforms for the large-scale deployment of their critical applications.”

They have dealt with many tricky challenges and I have been so impressed with their patience, resilience, experience, objectivity, extremely hard work and independence in providing advice to our team – and, most of all they are terrifically nice people.
