Testimonials

Nick Clark CEO Property Investor Media

I have known Martin Wright for more than 20 years and he has been instrumental in selling several of my media products/businesses as well as advising on a number of potential acquisitions. In each case he has made the difference in getting the deal done and at an excellent price. His knowledge of all things media is unrivaled and negotiating skills indispensable.
Gavin Johnstone
MD Healthcare Events

Martin Wright provided an exceptional service when my first business was acquired. Martin’s experience in taking a company to market, negotiating a sale and managing the process is second to none in this sector. Martin’s calm, level headed approach, gives a huge amount of confidence and assurance, often through an emotional journey. I would absolutely recommend the services of Media Mergers and the experience and guidance of Martin Wright, he is a true professional.
Mark Allen
Chairman The Mark Allen Group

The Mark Allen Group is currently enjoying a great deal of success and has just achieved a record year. Our success is due to one main factor. At a time when the company was struggling, we sold our leading dental title, The Probe, for an exceptional consideration. This excellent sale enabled us to clean up our balance sheet and start moving the company forward. I owe a huge debt to Martin Wright of Media Mergers for the sale of The Probe. Without his skills and guidance we would not have achieved such a good price and my company would not be in such good shape.
Jeremy Williams
CEO ScopeMedical

I had the pleasure of working alongside Martin when our business was acquired. Martin brokered the sale to Huntsworth Health after taking the company to market, he negotiated and secured our sale. Martin is always well prepared and is there to guide his client through all stages of a transaction. He is reliable and a wise counsel, someone you need on your side when making a deal.

Andrew Webster
Mercator Media

Mercator Media has used the services of Media Mergers for acquisitions on a number of occasions over the last 10 years. For us, the relationship has resulted in well targeted purchases at a fair price. I cannot overstress the value of having such an independent, commercially objective mind acting on our behalf. The advice invariably pays for itself may times over.
Richard Sinclair Stott

Martin is a very calming and reassuring influence in the board room, who has no problem ‘cutting to the chase’ and securing the best possible outcome on behalf of the client.
