"The shareholders are young and committed to the business so it was crucial for us to find an investor that would enable us to retain an active role and influence within the management.

As a result of the deal, we have more market influence, and the financial constraints which meant that we had to be cautious with growth have been lifted. CCV has been very supportive; it was absolutely the right decision for us."

"Since CCV became a shareholder in our business it has enabled us to accelerate the growth of Capital & County to the benefit of both our clients and our staff, whilst allowing us to maintain a strong local brand.

CCV treats all of the family the same whether they are a fully owned or partially owned business, offering full access to support services such as IT, Compliance, HR, Sales & Marketing and Legal."

"The opportunity to join the CCV family, with all the advantages it brings, whilst retaining a share in the business was an attractive cocktail. More importantly, I know that our customers and staff will benefit from being part of a larger organisation and we are all very upbeat about the future."

"We felt the time was right to secure the future of our staff and take advantage of CCV’s access to funding and products for the benefit of our customers. Maintaining our own brand and presence in the local community were also important elements of the sale."

"We considered approaches from a number of interested parties, but ultimately the CCV offering hit the mark in all the critical areas. Providing certainty for our clients and staff, maintaining our identity in the local area and opening up access to a wide range of new products were the main ingredients which saw us choose this route."

"CCV will bring a wealth of experience to move Moffatt Saunders to the next stage of its development. We look forward to the benefits of a larger company infrastructure and access to the CCV range of products."

“In allowing a stake to be taken in our General Insurance business it ensures that trading alliances and partnerships remain strong and of mutual interest. I am pleased to welcome CCV as a shareholder as well as a trading partner. This alliance will take Smith & Pinching’s General Insurance business forward for the foreseeable future in both underwriting terms and financial strength, whilst using a very strong existing local brand.”

“I am delighted that CCV has become a shareholder in our business. This partnership will allow us to continue to grow Morgan Law for the benefit of both our clients and our staff, whilst allowing us to maintain our strong local brand.”
