During 2021, the nine shareholders of Coventry based consultancy Olivehorse Consulting Services Ltd received significant interest from a number of blue chip multi-nationals seeking to acquire the business.

With the help of PKF Smith Cooper, Olivehorse was sold to PwC in 2022, as a means for PwC to meet growing demand in the supply chain industry post pandemic. Both parties are delighted with the partnership and believe it will increase value to existing clients of both Olivehorse and PwC in the future.

Darren Hodson, Josh Gurton, and Tom Joy all supported Olivehorse with FDD discussions, managing information and dealing with issues. Adam Rollason, Tax Advisory Partner at PKF Smith Cooper in Birmingham, also assisted with transaction tax guidance, tax due diligence support, and provided sell side tax advice to the shareholders.
