"EAV Group is absolutely the perfect partner for Audiologic as they look to build on a brilliant brand profile and reputation in the UK and Ireland.

"It’s been our pleasure at BCMS to work alongside Matt, Simon, Andy and Audiologic FD Richard Bryan, as well as Sam and the EAV Group M&A team.

"A transaction like this is all about building relationships, and I’m happy that BCMS has been able to play a key role in securing a great deal for all parties.”

What [Audiologic shareholders] Matt Boland and Simon Stoll have achieved to date is exceptional."

Commenting on BCMS’ role in the transaction, Audiologic’s Simon Stoll said: ““None of this could have been achieved without the support, hand-holding and calm, considered expert advice from BCMS, who were in our corner, always."
