Client Spotlights - Sharing Their FuelExchange Experience
Phillips Fuel: A Personal Touch
Rhyle & Gary Stull, the third generation of a home heating family business in northeastern Pennsylvania, had considered selling the company on several occasions. But it was an encounter with Gray, Gray & Gray and our FuelExchange™ merger & acquisition service that finally convinced them it was the right time.
“We knew this time we were at the right spot,” says Rhyle Stull. “A connection with Gray, Gray & Gray is one you will not be disappointed in. They are basically the whole package – the financial expertise, the handholding. I can’t say enough about our experience with them.”
Achieving Success Through an Integrated Approach to a Business Sale
“We were too big to be small, and too small to be big. The liquid fuel industry is shrinking, and we were growing increasingly uncomfortable with industry trends.” That is how Chuck Holden, President of Holden Oil, a third-generation fuel oil and propane company based in Peabody, Massachusetts, describes the situation he found his family’s business in. It was this ambiguity about the future that led to Chuck’s decision to sell his company.
While Chuck was “very familiar with and has great respect for” other business brokers in the energy industry, he understood the value of having everything integrated under one roof with Gray, Gray & Gray.
