    As part of our growth strategy it was essential for Clearsprings Support Services to partner with a professional and agile business to work alongside us and execute our acquisition plan. Following a robust selection process it was clear that Novo had the right credentials and through Dale exhibited a level of competence and understanding which made my decision to engage with Novo very easy.  The project managed by Novo and the performance from day one underpinned the selection of partner. Throughout I received a high level of analysis, good and timely communication and positive feedback from acquisition targets. As a result of Novo’s commitment and hard work we have acquired 5 very good businesses; a great team effort.  We plan to embark on a third round of acquisitions next year and will have no hesitation in choosing Novo as a partner.   Managing Director, Clearsprings Support Services Ltd
