The CFIE transportation M&A team member in Denmark, Finn Laursen, is active in business sales. Finn Laursen mainly focuses on logistics, freight forwarding, transportation and forwarding companies in Denmark. Finn appointed two companies which he saw as possible buyers, one of which was Yoyo Global Freight in Odense. This was a possibility that Henrik himself hadn’t immediately thought of. During the initial meetings the chemistry flourished between Henrik Nielsen and CEO and partner in Yoyo Global Freight, Kasper Andersen, the two which along with their closest assistants, will collaborate in the conduction of the forthcoming merger. Henrik will continue his work in the company on a consulting basis, to ensure that the customers and the suppliers will follow through the merger. Finn Laursen states: ”It was an unusually quick process which we rarely see in our business of selling and buying transport and logistic companies. First and foremost good chemistry arose fast between buyer and seller, since they both saw the huge potential in a merger. Furthermore, Henrik was from the beginning very open to suggestions and solutions with regards to both the economic situation and his own future.”
