Dear Grayson and Dawn,
I am writing to give my wholehearted recommendation of you both and your company, Lamont Johnson, who acted as our advisers throughout the sale of Euroclydon Nursing & Residential Home in Drybrook, Gloucestershire.
This was not a straightforward transaction. It ran over a prolonged period, with a number of twists along the way, and it would have been easy for momentum to be lost. That it was not is down in large part to Grayson and Dawn’s deep and sustained involvement at every stage. They were never simply intermediaries passing messages between parties; they were genuinely hands-on, engaging closely with the detail of the deal, anticipating problems before they became obstacles, and working tirelessly to keep all sides constructively engaged until completion was finally reached.
Throughout, their advice was consistently sensible and grounded. They understood the commercial realities of the care sector, gave guidance that was practical rather than theoretical, and were candid with us at every turn, even when the news was not what we wanted to hear. That honesty, combined with sound judgement, was invaluable in helping us navigate the more difficult stages of the process with confidence.
Just as importantly, Grayson and Dawn were a pleasure to work with. Their friendly, approachable manner never wavered, even under pressure and even as the transaction extended well beyond what any of us had originally anticipated. They made themselves consistently available, were patient with our questions, and brought a warmth to the process that made a long and demanding transaction far more manageable than it might otherwise have been.
I would not hesitate to recommend Grayson and Dawn Taylor, and Lamont Johnson more broadly, to any care home operator considering a sale or acquisition. Their combination of sound advice, genuine hands-on commitment, and personable approach made all the difference in bringing our transaction to a successful conclusion and I look forward to many more purchases with them.
With warm regards,
Ram Mahendran
Director, Drybrook Care Limited
Nominated Individual, Euroclydon Nursing & Residential Home
