"Compass' partners are accessible to me whenever needed. And when a strong 'push' is required to complete a transaction, no one works as hard as the people at Compass. I have found negotiating with them as a manager to be a straight-forward process and I consider them to be open-minded and persuadable partners. In the end, while we may not always agree, I have understood their rationale and a fair outcome has always been achieved."
Ken D'Arcy, CEO
Crosman Corporation
