trucking, logistics and warehousing acquisition consulting firm
Ahern’s expertise guides owners and principals in the transportation field inmaking informed
decisions about acquisitions, sales, and other needs
Phoenix, AZ –April 12, 2013 –Ahern & Associates Ltd.will this year be celebrating its 26th
yearas a
leading consultant for acquisitions, mergers, valuations and business planning to trucking,
logistics and warehousing companiesacross the US.Led by CEO Andy Ahern, the company has
grown exponentially each year and is regarded not only as a unique source for information
about all aspects of the trucking, logistics and warehousing industries but also one that is well
trusted. Ahern attributes the phenomenal success to placing the focus on building relationships
within the industry. This has given the company an edge that puts it in a category of its own.
While the company plays a strategic role in arranging or negotiating sales and acquisitions,
Ahern provides clients with information that assists them in making the best decisions possible
about these processes. The Ahern Advisory Newsletter, Andy’s personal advice and outreach
newsletter to the industry has grown and changed over the years. It began as a quarterly
newsletter with 300 readers and today, reflecting the massive success that Ahern & Associates
has enjoyed is now a weekly publication with more than 455,000 readers. In addition, over the
years Andy has expanded his efforts to include blogs and podcasts which are available on the
company website to readers all over the world.Says Ahern, “All in all, it has been a very
rewarding process.”
Ahern & Associates, Ltd. has recently taken this one step further with the implementation of a
crisis hotline that allows an instant, free consultation with one of Ahern’s analysts for up to one
hour. Users may discuss any issue and all communication is held in the strictest of confidence.
Ahern created these resources as a way to give back to the community and to share news and
information. 60% of trucking companies are between 1 to 99 trucks in size and because of the
financial constraints that this places on them many are not in a position to engage Ahern &
Associates directly. However, these companies still need help; and the crisis hotline in addition
to being able to access the information from the newsletter and podcasts gives them a free and
reliable source of information that Andy hopes will benefit the industry as a whole.
