“Waypoint have been invaluable throughout this process, providing not only M&A expertise but support and counsel through all stages of the acquisition process. It really felt like they were part of the team and with us all the way."

"Waypoint people are second to none, and I recommend the firm without hesitation to any creative business leadership team with the ambition to grow and desire to find a trusted partner on the journey."

"Initially Waypoint worked closely with us to develop a more targeted proposition focusing on the strengths and expertise within our business. They now continue to offer invaluable, strategic advice with an honest, focused and insightful approach."

"With their extensive experience in M&A, specifically in the creative, marketing and technology sectors, Waypoint helped us navigate the impact of the deal.”

“Waypoint Partners were a great partner to work with – they set clear direction, were objective when challenged and helped us look at things from different angles. The team were also great fun to work with, a company I would work with again without hesitation.”

"Waypoint have worked side by side with us over three years, providing invaluable help, support and guidance where and when we needed it."

"As our NED Miles Welch and Waypoint Partners have been instrumental in setting our new strategy and creating a sustainable plan for growth to drive the business forward to the next stage. I would highly recommend."

"Working with Waypoint Partners has enabled us to look at the business from a more objective perspective, changing what was normal and challenging us to challenge ourselves and the business, helping create a more profitable company but also a better place to work. Waypoint Partners have helped us to realign our vision for the company, making this feel real and achievable with a clear long-term roadmap and a solid financial plan."

“The Waypoint Partners team have carried out some fantastic work for us at Head. To take an ongoing advisory role on our board was an easy decision given the care and professionalism, Waypoint Partners have shown coupled with their deep knowledge and understanding of both the operational aspects of digital agencies and the wider industry.”

“We felt they were able to really get under our skin to understand and verify our strategy for the future. We look forward to working with them again.”

"Software is eating the world” is very much the Silicon Valley mantra. This means that in common with all services businesses in the Valley, First Retail is seen as the ‘after hours crew’, never to achieve unicorn status. The difference with Waypoint is that they understand the unique challenges of running a professional services business and the team have firsthand experience of this in numerous industry verticals. Although it is still early in our relationship, they have been able to set us on a growth path that feels achievable. We are settling into a good pace where they continually challenge us, yet are patient as we work through the kinks in our business.
