A CEO’s view

"Terra Firma has proved a sound and responsible partner that takes into account the interests of the Government, the tenants and the wider stakeholder group"

"Under Terra Firma’s ownership, Tank & Rast has undergone considerable improvements in quality and service. This has been reflected in increased customer satisfaction, customer spending and an increase in the number of customers. The Company has made impressive improvements in its turnover and earnings as a result.

Terra Firma’s support in achieving this improved performance has been crucial and our relationship with them has always been trusting, open and fair. Terra Firma has proved a sound and responsible partner that takes into account the interests of the Government, the tenants and the wider stakeholder group.

Tank & Rast is clearly benefiting from Terra Firma’s input. It has a deep understanding of Tank & Rast’s business, allowing them to respond quickly to our needs. After repositioning the strategy together with management, they subsequently backed our operational plans and are fully supportive of our focus on improving products and services as the best way to generate growth.

Beyond that, Terra Firma has clearly demonstrated its outstanding expertise by optimising the financial structure to the benefit of both the Company and the shareholders."

Dr Karl-Heinz Rolfes,
CEO, Tank & Rast.
