legend on acquisition of the Dore Programme
Hugh James has advised
Dynevor Limited, established by Wales and British Lions legend
Scott Quinnell, on its acquisition of the Dore Programme, a leading
alternative therapy for learning difficulties.
The Dore Programme was
first launched in 1999 as an alternative, drug free therapy based
on physical exercises to assist children and adults to overcome
their learning difficulties. During the past 10 years, Dore has
helped thousands of people who have been challenged by dyslexia,
dyspraxia, ADHD and Aspergers throughout the world.
Scott Quinnell
experienced a life changing transformation when he completed the
Dore Programme in 2006. He explains:
“Five years ago I
could barely read or write – in fact my literary skills were so bad
that I couldn’t even write a cheque or reply to an email.
Today, thanks to the Dore Programme, I am not only able to read and
write but I am able to do things I never thought would be possible.
It feels like my world has opened up and everything seems so much
easier.
Since completing the
Programme I have met hundreds of individuals and families who say
that Dore turned their lives around. Just like these people I
passionately believe Dore can have a huge impact on the lives of
people suffering with learning difficulties. This is the
reason why I formed an elite management team of professionals to
re-launch the Dore Programme and firmly establish its presence in
the UK.”
Commenting on Hugh
James’s role in the transaction, Scott added:
“Hugh James were an
invaluable part of the team and managed the acquisition
superbly. This was a complicated deal involving various
countries across the globe and tight timescales, but they made it
all seem very easy. The service they provided was first
class.”
The Hugh James team was
led by head of corporate Gerallt Jones.
Gerallt Jones said:
“The transaction was
extremely satisfying, not only because of the significant legal
challenges but also because the re-launch will enable Scott and his
colleagues to make a huge difference to the lives of many children
and adults with learning difficulties, just as it did for Scott
himself.”
