Van de Water Seafood enters into a strategic partnership with Krijn Verwijs

By 18 April 2024No Comments

On recommendation from ABN AMRO Bank, I ended up at Yes Corporate Finance. From start to finish, I was well guided. I found the knowledge and experience in this process very desirable. I also appreciated the personal aspect; I always felt that my interest were given top priority. In a next similar process, I would definitely use the services of YES CF again
