Client Testimonial
Thanks to everyone on the TM Capital team who made the Tidewater transaction a successful and well-managed process. Their industry knowledge and positioning of Tidewater’s unique business were insightful, the offering materials were first rate, and TM Capital made a compelling case for investing in Tidewater based not just on its strong historical results but also the reasons to expect continued growth. The professionalism of every member of the team was evident in their flawless execution. Talking to any member of the TM Capital team was effectively talking to the firm – we never had to repeat requests, and issues that arose were resolved promptly with whatever people and resources were needed to keep the process on track. We look forward to working with the TM team on another deal again soon.”James K. Kelliher, Partner, Ironwood Management Partners Fund II, LP
