Gü Sold to Exponent Private Equity
"We have been working with Spayne Lindsay for almost a year and their guidance, support and professionalism has led us to an excellent investor in Exponent and the management team are delighted we can continue to deliver our plan of building a global indulgence brand. The process was run incredibly efficiently from start to finish and it included helping us shape the strategic plan, giving us time to still run the business and managing all the other essential third parties. Ultimately delivering a great result for the Noble shareholders."
