I recently engaged Gavin Hazelden’s consultancy services to assist me with Due Diligence, when I purchased a new centre. Although I have been a childcare centre owner for the last five years, I didn’t feel 100% confident to complete the Due Diligence on my own.
Being a multiple centre owner himself, Gavin was extremely knowledgeable about MOE requirements, Sale and Purchase agreements, leases, financials and market knowledge.

I just wanted to express our appreciation for putting us in touch with Gavin Hazelden at Astute Education and for steering us towards actions that would ensure greater financial sustainability . Gavin undertook an excellent analysis process and delivered a Report that was of a very high standard. We have been negotiating with staff and now have got agreement to significantly restructure our Early Childhood operation and ensure its financial viability. (more…)

Christian Savings and our clients have worked with Astute Education on a number of different projects ranging in size and scope. We have found them personable, helpful and a reliable source for independent advice. We appreciate that they have first-hand experience in owning, operating and advising on early education centres and this gives them a unique advantage when helping us or our clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

Gavin has managed to make an extremely complex situation exceptionally easy. He is not only knowledgeable on all aspects of Childcare but exceptionally supportive and guiding at the same time. Gavin always makes you feel as if you are his most important client which is truly appreciated. I highly recommend Gavin for any business requirements you may need.
