DSMA is proud to announce the acquisition of Spring Honda by Brendon Hall. This transaction was advised and facilitated by Jonathan Pumphrey of DSMA.
This marks an exciting milestone for Brendon Hall as his first acquisition outside of his current operations, representing an important step in the continued growth and evolution of his automotive platform.
Built on strong relationships, mutual trust, and strategic alignment, this transaction highlights the importance of having the right people around the table throughout the acquisition process. With a longstanding relationship already established between Jonathan and Brett D’Ambrosie, the seller in this transaction, the process was grounded in open communication, alignment, and a shared commitment to achieving the right outcome for all parties involved.
Working closely alongside both buyer and seller from initial discussions through to closing, Jonathan provided strategic guidance and advisory support to help navigate the complexities of a first acquisition and support a successful transition.
Regarding his experience working with DSMA, Brett shared:
“Jonathan played a considerable role in enabling me to navigate the acquisition of my store during his time at BMO. So when the time came to divest, I didn’t hesitate to lean upon his extensive experience once again to help me to navigate the sale. Having someone with Jonathan’s background and experience operating in the M&A space on your behalf brings a considerable asset to your team.”
Brendon also reflected on his journey working with DSMA as a buyer:
“I first met Jonathan Pumphrey during his time with BMO, when he approached us about moving our business — a relationship we had maintained loyally for over 70 years. Jonathan’s persistence, professionalism, and growth-minded approach ultimately earned our business and our trust.
After Jonathan joined DSMA, we stayed in touch while I looked for the right acquisition opportunity. When the opportunity to purchase Spring Honda came through my relationships within the Honda network, I reached out to Jonathan for guidance on my first acquisition. He provided clear advice, strong direction, and seamlessly helped structure the deal from start to finish.
Jonathan is honest, knowledgeable, and highly professional. He conducts business with integrity, transparency, and a genuine commitment to his clients’ success. I would confidently recommend Jonathan to any dealer looking for a trusted advisor in mergers and acquisitions.”
We congratulate everyone involved on this exciting next chapter and thank all parties for their professionalism and collaboration throughout the transaction.
