WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

Working with Hidden Harbor has been really refreshing for me. They are exactly what they presented themselves as in my interview process. They’re very consistent day in and day out. They show up the same way. They have the same thought process, they have the same expectations, and they have a relentless focus on value creation.

Craig Frohock
CEO, Dayco

Working with Hidden Harbor has been fantastic. This is actually the fourth private equity owned company that I’ve worked for, and definitely feel like there’s much more of a plan and I feel much more supported than I had been in the other roles.

Matt Robertson
CEO, Island Pump & Tank

Working with Hidden Harbor, the experience was better than my expectations. I had heard the goods and bads of working for private equity owned companies, I mean they were absolute professionals at what they do. They were a great soundboard for me, and a great mentor for me and my team.
