“Having Harper Macleod on our team for more than a decade has proven to be a very good decision for Visioncall. Paula and Jo have been intricately involved with our business for so long and fully understood what we were trying to achieve. Whether it was our business model and corporate structure, or simply the tremendous amount of hard work we had put in to get to this point, they knew how to realise the outcome we wanted. It was also great to be able to draw upon so many skilled individuals at the firm with different expertise in getting the transaction completed. I can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without them.”
