“We saw in LEHVOSS UK a company with many of the key attributes we see in ourselves and it became an easy decision to sell to them. We were delighted with the advice and assistance we obtained from the Corbett Keeling team throughout the process in order to reach that point. With the backing of the LEHVOSS Group, we will be able to support and grow both our supply base and customers in helping develop sales and distribution throughout Europe and further, in line with our goals. The LEHVOSS Group offers us a great opportunity which my team and I are looking forward to.”
