It was important to me to find a buyer that shared these values to continue to grow the company. The Heritage team worked hard to find that buyer in Gallant Capital. Heritage brought expertise and experience that resulted in an efficient and effective deal close, while allowing my management team to continue to focus on growing the company through the pandemic and other challenges.”
