Director, Ascend Tendering Limited
“Selling a dental practice can be an arduous journey for some but with Hewi Ma on my side, I was in safe hands. My sale went through seamlessly with Hewi working diligently and above all that, with cheerfulness and heart.”
Client feedback
“Hewi Ma demonstrated fantastic problem-solving skills under high pressure and time constraints. She really did help us during an extremely difficult period and we could not give her higher praise for her professionalism, completeness and transparency.”
Client feedback
“The Trust engaged with Brabners via the Crown Commercial Services framework, awarded due to its proven expertise in the handling of dental practice sales. Our sale was particularly complex... It required intense communications and expert handling to steer negotiations in what was one of the most difficult transactions they’d ever handled. I’m very grateful that Hewi Ma was appointed to the Trust and it’s credit to her and her team that we're the only NHS Community Trust in the country to have sold a dental practice to a private buyer.”
