Client Spotlight
—ROD AMBROSIE, CEO,
WENCK ENTERPRISES
“Chartwell has been our trusted advisor since 1999, assisting Wenck during multiple stages of growth and with issues related to employee ownership. As we have valued Chartwell’s partnership for so many years, it seemed natural to turn to them to lead us through our sale transaction. Having Chartwell manage the process and communication with all parties was immensely helpful to keep myself and the management team focused on the business. I was very impressed with Chartwell’s expertise and guidance."

—TODD KENNER, CEO, RESPEC
“We are no strangers to the M&A process and I personally have interacted with many financial professionals throughout my career. We selected Chartwell to lead our buy-side transaction based on Chartwell’s ability to leverage its team of professionals to provide unbiased, comprehensive advice throughout the transaction process. Chartwell’s ability to navigate through a complex ESOP transaction during one of the more complex times in recent history was invaluable. It was comforting to know we had a reliable and responsive partner to help us cross the finish line.”
