Working with Draper Hinks has been a pleasure from start to finish. They have always been on hand to offer support through what has been a stressful experience and their advice on how best to approach the process of change has been invaluable. Best of all has been their proactive approach in searching out suitable buyers and it has been that attention to detail which has seen me successfully sell my practice. Thank you.
