Our principal, John Tarrant, has had over 40 years experience in the investment banking industry including 12 years with the National Australia Bank Group, Chase-NBA Ltd, Bank of New Zealand and Macquarie Bank Limited. He founded John Tarrant & Partners in 1989 and since then he has advised businesses on just about every aspect of the corporate advisory spectrum, including: mergers, acquisitions and divestments (in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA), management buy-outs and buy-ins, capital raising assistance, corporate restructuring, re-financing arrangements (debt and equity), strategic business plan development, business valuations, due diligence management, commercial negotiation, chief executive confidential advisory services, succession planning, and shareholder dispute resolution services.

 

We have established a strong track record in advising companies on just about every aspect of the corporate advisory spectrum and whilst we have experience with businesses operating in most sectors, we primarily work with clients involved in petrochemicals, manufacturing, the blending and compounding of polyethylenes and polypropylenes, intellectual property commercialisation, software development and sale, and primary health care. 

​

For the last 10 years, John has acted as the CEO of a business that has commercialised patented technology.

1. Application of a synthetic zeolite ion exchange resin which preferentially removes ammonium ions from polluted water;
2. Application of catalyst technology for the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde in Indonesia, Japan and the USA; and
3. Utilization of synthetic zeolite for the remediation and enrichment of farming soil by holding moisture and nutrients in a clay matrix for future crop growth as required.
