Benchmark listened to what I had to say, they cast the net wide and Benchmark International found me a strategic buyer and they found me a business that wasn’t in Dublin. The outcomes I got were perfect, all of the staff within Office Technology are still there, a number of the staff have gotten promotions, everyone got a pay review, so everybody is happy. It just means I can walk down any street in Dublin now and not have to cross the road, so that makes me happy also.

Together, Intuity and Office Technology Limited represent a competitive advantage which will hugely benefit our customers. This development takes Intuity one step closer to fulfilling its ambition of becoming the largest and best managed IT provider in Ireland while further building on our international expansion.

Benchmark International really did help to bring the negotiations together in a way that was good for both parties, and with the language barriers that we had with German versus English and the laws and everything else, I don't think that we could have got to the position we had now, had it not been for Jack and Paul and the team.

Benchmark International presented themselves as, more or less, an unbiased partner to us. We had a feeling that they were very honest in giving us information and this was very helpful. For instance, during the process, Benchmark helped us to understand the British accountancy standards and the business processes which we were not so acquainted with before.

We had some very specific needs in terms of exit plans and Benchmark International understood that. They really understood how to present to prospective acquirers and put us first in that sense, and they were better than we’ve had before, after having worked with others in the same process that didn’t go through.
