Transportation Acquisition Consultant, Andy Ahern of Ahern and Associates Broadens Reach

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Phoenix, AZ—Well known for his diligent work within the trucking and logistics industries, Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates is finding that his specialized skill set and that of his firm are also in demand outside of the realm of traditional acquisitions.  Recently, Ahern has completed work for several companies spanning through an assortment of industries to include forestry, legal and DOT compliance.
Acknowledgement of Ahern’s abilities can be best communicated through the praise of his firm’s satisfied clients.
Just completed was a three and a half month assignment with Forest City Trading Group, LLC where Ahern assisted in restructuring their distribution network:
“While Forest City Trading Group is not a transportation company, our business model is not unlike many of Ahern’s clients…we interviewed several consultants from the very small to large global companies….Ahern and Associates helped us understand the trucking industry and introduce us to those companies that are able to work and provide service within our business model…Andy Ahern showed a high degree of respect and dealt with us very openly and honestly…we look forward to future business dealings and highly recommend your company.”
Global business law firm, Benesh, Attorneys at Law teamed up with Ahern this year to produce a transportation conference in Phoenix, AZ as well as hired them in a logistics consulting capacity:
“We have worked with Andy Ahern and his colleagues at Ahern and Associates for some time now and find their expertise in the area of logistics--be it in consulting or based on being hired for acquisition analysis to be outstanding…we value the relationship.”
Traditional acquisition consulting work for Jim Moore and S and M Transportation, Inc. often times not only positions Ahern as a professional adviser, but as a personal confidante as well:

“As the seller, I developed a business relationship with Andy and his staff, who were very professional in finding the right company to acquire my previous business…real integrity was displayed by Andy and his staff and I found real professionalism in dealing with the process…It is a very traumatic process to sell a very prospering business after nurturing it for 23 years, but Andy found the right person to make me comfortable in doing just that…I have great respect for both Andy and his company, because of the way he sets high priorities for himself, as well as those he works with and for the Integrity, Character, Commitment and Passion that he displays.”
