The guidance we received from Clearwater was second to none. Having previously worked with Marcus and the team at Clearwater, their understanding of our business and in-depth sector knowledge was invaluable throughout the transaction process.

It’s been a pleasure to work with the Prospects team again. This strategic alliance with Shaw Trust enhances Prospects’ ability to support a wider group of people and communities with a greater range of services.
