We aim to operate the company onsite alongside existing employees. With us, there is no lengthy transition period, no moving the company location, no employee downsizing, and no integration into a larger entity.

ABOUT
Long Partners is led by David Nefs, who lives in Romford with his wife, Charlotte, and young sons, Freddie and Tommy.
David started his career at Bain & Company where he worked across a range of industries before leading growth (marketing, sales and analytics) at a number of small businesses over the last 10 years, managing budgets ranging from £100k+ to £10M+ and teams ranging from less than 5 to over 50 people.
In 2021 he established Long Partners with the ambition of using this broad experience to good use in supporting small businesses transitioning from retiring owners.
