Way to go Maeve! Thanks for sharing your talents, story and leadership.

Happy 1st MBO anniversary to River Capital equity portfolio business Barons Contract Furniture - can’t believe it’s been a year already!! It's been great to work with all the team at Baron's, including Managing Director Garry Smith and Chair Gary Lasham. As outlined in the post below, there’s been a massive amount achieved in what is a relatively short period, and the future looks equally exciting as the business continues to deliver on its growth opportunities. And you? Are you like Garry, an MD in a North West based SME business you wish to acquire? Or do you own an SME and are considering your exit plans which may potentially include passing the business on to your management team? Always happy to talk and see if we can help .... #fuellingambition #MBO #investment #growth #equity

As we embark on another Black History Month, it's paramount to pay homage to the remarkable journey of Smoot Construction.

In celebration of the Black History Month. I'll like to share some history we're currently making. Building a business with my wife by my side has been one of the transformative experiences I've ever had. I want to take this moment to announce our latest project. "Baby David 2.0" has been growing steadily month over month with an expected launch date early Q1 2024.📈📈🎉🎉 We've made strategic investments in diapers, onesies, and milk to meet the anticipated market demands once fully launched. We're currently recruiting rich aunties, funcles, and God parents to serve in advisory roles over the next 72 quarters.📊📊🥳🥳 I truly believe that the business of family is a fundamental part of the story of "Great American Enterprises." So many companies we work for today bares the name of visionary founders who brought the whole family along the journey. Sharnetta (Sharqi) L. Tyler David has played a critical role in helping my find my voice on platforms like LinkedIn. In fact, her branding expertise has shaped the story on TracFlo in so many ways. At TracFlo, it's not just software that we produce. We help create the bond necessary for modern project mangers, engineers, supers and foreman to meet the demand of the jobsite more connected than ever before. We invite you to celebrate this moment with us as we embark on this new chapter of faith, family and business. #belly2 #nyc #familybusiness #building #growing #4thgenerationbuilders #blackhistorymonth #onevanderbilt #summit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

The momentous and impactful work done by those before us must be celebrated in order to fully understand and appreciate what we have today. For Smoot Construction, this means not only remembering the work of enormous figures like Martin Luther King, Jr., but also the generations of perseverance and determination that came together to create a business like ours. As we enter our fourth generation of family ownership and round out our seventh decade of being black-owned, we embrace the immense pride in being able to be here today, to share our opportunities with others, and to continue the work of those before us. From the foothills of West Virginia and our humble beginnings as masonry contractors struggling to win work, to becoming the largest black-owned construction business in the Midwest, the Smoot family has lived its values and honored the work of generations and leaders before us. As shown in MLK Jr.'s powerful words, we must continue to work past our comfort, we must persist when it is convenient not to do so, and we must embrace challenge and controversy. We will continue to soar to new heights, to share our successes with others, and to lift up those other members of our community, so that one day, we will be part of legacy that our successors can look back on and celebrate. #mlkjr #martinlutherkingjr #blackownedbusiness #constructionindustry #mlkjrday
