Recent studies suggest that today’s business owners are not thinking far enough ahead. While many focus on actions and strategies to secure long-term business success, a business transition plan remains at the bottom of most people’s agendas.
Join us on May 6 at OTA’s offices for “Succession Planning in the Trucking Industry” and hear from a mix of industry leaders who either sold or passed on their businesses successfully. Learn what worked and what didn’t as they explain the common roadblocks to be aware of when handing off or taking the reins of a new company; critical success factors for protecting your assets; and key strategies for integrating your long-term business strategy with a proven approach to preparing for your inevitable exit and sale of your business. The main factors driving mergers & acquisitions will also be discussed along with current trends and recent notable transactions.
The session will be moderated by Mike McCarron of the Wheels Group, who recently spearheaded one of the most talked-about M&As in the trucking industry. Joining Mike will be Jeff Noble, Director & Practice Leader from The BDO SuccessCare Program and Robert Hickey, Managing Director RBC Mid Market M&A. Our industry panel members are: Scott Tilley, President and CEO of The Tandet Group of Companies; Wendell Erb, President of The Erb Group of Companies; James Steed, President of Steed Standard Limited; and Peter Hodge, President, Peter Hodge Transport Limited.
