Congratulations to the management team at Setfords Law Ltd led by cousins Chris and Guy Setford on the investment by Phoenix Equity Partners.
"Noel and Sian were just brilliant. This was a complex deal that needed to be put in place quickly. They were all over it from the outset and never put a foot wrong. Having started my own career with Noel at PDT many years ago, he has been a friend and mentor ever since and we have used PDT as our advisors from the very beginning. Noel’s support, friendship, experience and advice has been instrumental and I can’t thank him enough. We are now starting a new exciting journey in partnership with Phoenix Equity Partners and I’d like to thank Noel, Sian and the rest of the team at PDT for all their hard work, the weekends they’ve given up and the late nights, for making this deal happen for us. Thank you again, you did a great job"
Chris Setford, Co - Chief Executive Officer, Setfords
