"ARRACO is very much a people business and relationships are very important to us – as soon as we met the team at YFM, we really liked them and knew they were the right fit for us. We share a similar culture, with ESG at the core of both businesses, and we like the fact they have national coverage and understand regional businesses. We were looking for supportive investors to work alongside us as we grow the business and YFM have a great track record in the market."
Tom Roberts, CEO and co-founder of ARRACO
