Testimonials

I would like to thank you John Cairns for the professional way Graveleys conducted the sale of Seven Seas Fisheries, Thirsk for me and my wife. After owning the business for 43 years we had to put the business up for sale due to ill health, after been closed for 6 months. The business was sold 6 months later. With my ill health John took a personal interest in securing the sale of our business for us, taking the pressure off me. A big thank you John and to your staff

Extremely happy with Graveleys service, absolutely phenomenal

Mr L Baines, Oldham, Manchester

“I would like to thank you for the very professional way Graveleys conducted the sale of Fawcett Fisheries for me and my wife. After trying for over 2 years with various other Estate Agents, I was amazed at what happened when I engaged your company and within 6 months I was sold up and moved “pinch me”. I still cannot believe how everything went so smooth.”

Mr W & Mrs C Walton, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Just a short note to thank-you for your essential help with our purchase of Thornton Dale Fisheries, without which I don't believe we would have reached a successful conclusion. I think it speaks volumes that after a particularly difficult transaction (due to an incompetent solicitor and a challenging lending environment) that Steve (the vendor) and I have become friends with Steve and his family regularly helping me out in the shop and both of us being very happy with the service you provided.

I am pleased to report that the business is trading much as expected and is achieving the budgets I set out in my business plan. I am certain this wouldn't have been the case if I hadn't received reliable and accurate information needed to create the plan from yourselves.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a fish and chip shop as their first point of contact.

Mr Eric Dent, Thornton Le Dale, North Yorkshire

‘I found John Cairns to be very knowledgeable in his field of expertise when we sold our shop. John helped immensely especially in the negotiations which we found very useful. I always felt that Graveleys were on our side, and not just trying to push a sale through for everybody’s interest. And for these reasons I would recommend them to anybody wishing to buy or sell a business’.

Mr D Wernham, Warrington, Cheshire.

'Our company have dealt with John Cairns and his team for more than 10 years. Over that period, the many purchases we have made, have been handled in a most professional way. As with any deal, when problems occur his brokering skills between both parties always help the deal go through with an amicable conclusion. We have always been very pleased with every purchase we have made. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending Johns services for selling or buying a catering business.'
