I met Stuart and the Fitzgerald Power corporate finance team at The Real Deal. I quickly decided that they were the perfect advisor to help myself and the management team acquire Irish HomeCare. They were always available during the process and their dedication and expertise helped us to navigate the funding market and complete the purchase of the business. Fitzgerald Power played an instrumental role in our MBO.
