"Swiftsure’s investors were incredibly supportive throughout the period of their investment. In a challenge like the Great Recession, the character of investors shines through, and their group was exceptional. When we considered a sale of the company, Gordie’s contacts and advice were critical to our deal with PerkinElmer getting done, even when a larger industry-focused investment bank could not execute."
