Testimonials

As CEO and Director of The Lane Vineyard, I worked with Langley and Co on the recent sale of the business. Toby was fantastic to deal with thanks to his years of experience, professionalism and methodical nature. We quickly developed a great rapport, which helped to make the whole process as seamless as possible. I would not hesitate in engaging Toby and his team again.

Australian Vintage Limited (AVG) has worked with Toby and the team at Langley & Co for decades. We have found working with Toby on numerous opportunities, in acquiring or divesting, to be professional, diligent and achieving what they say they are going to do. We admire their work ethic to drive an outcome.

We entrusted Langley & Co with the sale of our business as we had long known of the firm’s solid reputation and we also knew of Stephen through his previous role as chief executive of the Winemakers Federation of Australia. Putting a business on the market can be a daunting experience, but from the initial consultation right through to final settlement, the team at Langley & Co led us professionally and supportively through all the various stages of the selling process. Thanks to this support and to the combined expertise of Stephen, Karen and Toby, we are now looking forward to our retirement years.

We have just settled on the acquisition of Hahndorf Hill Winery, and I can honestly say that working with Stephen was a standout experience. He brought a calm, pragmatic and good-humoured approach to a complex transaction, giving everyone confidence even when things got challenging. He balanced the needs of all parties with fairness and professionalism, and his attention to detail was outstanding. The whole process ran smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

We have just completed the sale of an operating vineyard at Heathcote in Victoria. The sale process was conducted by Stephen Strachan of Langley & Co. in Adelaide. We chose them to complete this task as they have a reputation of being the leading agent for the wine industry.

I have also known Stephen for at least 30 years and I was completely confident in his ability to sell the property and give us the best possible return. All of my expectations for the sale were exceeded and I highly recommend both Stephen, and Langley & Co., to any member of the wine industry.

We feel very lucky to have had Langley & Co conduct the sale of our vineyard in the Coal River Valley, Tasmania. The whole process was professional and we felt the Langley & Co team really looked out for our interests.

Accolade Wines has used Toby and Stephen at Langley & Co for several important divestments over the last three years. They have achieved great results and have always conducted themselves professionally and with discretion. We would have no hesitation in using them again.

Appointing Langley & Co. as advisors for the 2022 sale of the Davey family’s Shingleback Wine assets to Endeavour Group was simply the right decision. Thank you for assisting us to explore all options and for achieving the best outcome.

Toby’s expertise, experience, professionalism and diligence was remarkable. He always had our interests front of mind, but had a balanced view of getting a deal done. A class act!

Stephen Strachan and the Langley & Co team managed the divestment of Innocent Bystander in 2016 and Giant Steps in 2020 on my behalf. In ‘off-market’ transactions like these, where discretion and confidentiality are paramount, Langley & Co identified parties that were the right fit that could leverage and grow what we had created.

They are well connected, professional and live and breathe the wine business – I’d have no hesitation in recommending Stephen and the Langley & Co team.
