“A massive thank you to all the team at Burnetts for the professionalism they showed on the sale of our company. I was unaware prior to the sale, of all the different fields of expertise within the company! As a female business owner, I found it extremely comforting to have Jen, Rebecca and Anna helping to navigate me through all the processes and procedures. This personal approach from Burnetts and in particular the ladies was simply amazing. They all explained in fine detail the steps ahead for us as a company and for me as an individual from start to finish. This took a huge amount of stress away from me at an extremely intense and anxious time! So thank you again Burnetts you are all amazing. We couldn’t have done it without you!”

“Burnetts has advised Amsric for a number of years across both our KFC and Starbucks businesses. We felt totally comfortable that the team at Burnetts represented our best interests at all times, including on the sales of those businesses. They were extremely supportive, excellent throughout and achieved a great result.”
