James Morter, and his team, quickly understood, not only the requirement of the Directors but the unique nature of ACES position within the construction sector. From preparing the initial IM all the way to the final moments of the sale, Hazlewoods was there to aid the Directors in what for us was an unknown process. I would like to thank James Morter and Rich Grover personally for their hard work and commitment especially with the final hurdles that had to be overcome.”
The success of the company is due to its highly skilled and loyal work force.

Working with James has been a pleasure from start to finish.
