Ross and Wendy stepped into an exciting new chapter with a great business.
Speedy Signs Albany
A successful business sale is about far more than price – it’s about people, fit, and the future.
I had the privilege of coaching Chris Cooke (previous owner of Speedy Signs Albany) for over three years. Through that journey, I developed a deep understanding of the business – its strengths, its culture, and the opportunities ahead. That insight gave me absolute confidence that this was a standout business for the right new owners to take forward.
After gaining a clear brief from Chris and Tracey Cooke on what they wanted from a sale, we took the business to market and saw a very high level of interest. Among that interest, two people stood out quickly: Ross Peebles and Wendy Petrie.
It became clear early on that Ross and Wendy were looking for more than just a business – they wanted a challenge they could own, lead, and grow into the future. Just as importantly, Chris and Tracey could see their potential, and a strong, genuine relationship formed quickly.
Because Chris and Tracey wanted to remain in the business for a transition period post-sale, maintaining trust, alignment, and good relationships throughout the process was critical – and that’s exactly what happened.
“We knew that Mark would find the right buyers for our business due to his deep understanding of what we were selling and the opportunities ahead.”
- Chris Cooke
“I had full confidence in the information Mark provided, as he knew the business intimately after having been Chris’s business coach for a number of years.”
- Ross Peebles
