Livingstone Named Advisor Of The Year
December 2009
Livingstone Partners, has been voted 'Middle Market Advisor of the Year' for 2010 by Acquisitions Monthly. The honor follows similar previous distinctions given the firm in both 2008 and 2007 at the European Private Equity Awards.Reasons for Livingstone’s selection, articulated by Acquisitions Monthly, include the consistency of Livingstone's deal-making performance and the successful balance that the firm has struck between strong franchises in its local markets and a proven cross-border M&A capability.
Livingstone has completed 100 transactions since the firm integrated internationally in early 2007. The firm closed 32 deals in 2009 (the same as in 2008) with an aggregate deal value of $1478m, a performance which Partner David Sulaski described as “steady - given the market challenges that we have had to confront.”
Highlights included the sales of Advantage Rent A Car, the largest independent car rental agent in the US; Digital Window, the UK's No.1 independent online affiliate marketing network; Tech for Less, a leading value-added reseller of consumer electronics; and American Asphalt and Grading, a Nevada contracting business owned by Chicago’s Code Hennessey & Simmons.
Sulaski added, “We are pleased to be honored by Acquisitions Monthly. It is a testament to the hard work put in by the whole Livingstone team, on both sides of the Atlantic."
