Independent Beverage Group

IBG was instrumental in assisting HBC through the complex and difficult issues surrounding the sale of our distribution business. Utilizing Joe's long time experience and knowledge of the sales process, we at HBC were able to maximize our value and minimize our time on the market. All of us at HBC would certainly recommend the services of IBG to anyone looking to exit the industry or expand their operations; there just is not anyone better at navigating the sales process than Joe Thompson!

Ron LaVelle
CFO, The Hudson Companies.
