"Rock Gate delivered as promised, from indication of interest to letter of intent through closing and post-closing. They were fair, pragmatic and focused on the bigger picture while not hesitating to dive into the details. Throughout the process, it was also clear their integrity and concern for the well-being of management and employees was very important."
