"Kevin and the Benchmark International team were exceptional partners throughout our exit process. Their expertise proved invaluable in multiple ways: facilitating clear communication between all parties, providing critical historical context on deal structures, and connecting us with the right technical specialists when we needed them. They demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of when to drive progress actively and when to let the process unfold naturally. What truly set them apart was their unwavering availability, responding promptly, whether it was a weekday afternoon or a weekend evening, and their genuine commitment to getting the deal across the finish line. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Benchmark again or recommend them to other business owners navigating a transaction."

Benchmark International, through Zelda and her team, facilitated the initial introduction to Colin and Jamie from Synapt and supported the early stages of engagement. Zelda stayed in touch throughout the process, providing reassurance, comfort and professional advice at each step. Synapt’s professionalism, experience and strong commercial insight helped drive the transaction to a successful conclusion within three months. I especially appreciated Colin and Jamie’s sensitivity during what was, for me, a significant and emotional transition, given the long-term relationships I had developed with the CiM Automation team, our suppliers and our customers. They handled the process with genuine understanding and respect.

We’re delighted to have completed this acquisition and to welcome CiM Automation into the Synapt family. It’s a solid, well-run business with good values, deep expertise and long-standing customer relationships — exactly the kind of company we like to develop. The seller, Philip Gilmour, should be proud of what he built, and we are committed to advancing that legacy.
