The advisers businesses
and individuals turn to

Stiller Warehousing & Distribution specialises in storing and distributing palletised goods. We have over 400,000 square feet of high-quality, food-grade ambient warehousing and a large distribution fleet. We also offer contract packaging and assembly services.
Recently, we expanded our contract packing operations. To refine our financial case and clarify our vision, we engaged Carl Wright and Joe Vera-Sanso from Clive Owen LLP’s grants advisory team. They helped us secure grant funding from the Durham Business Growth Programme.
Carl and Joe managed the entire bid writing process. They also supported us in discussions with the fund manager, UMi Commercial, and the Business Durham team. Their communication was excellent throughout. We secured substantial grant support, which gave us confidence to invest in our contract packaging division.
The Clive Owen team clearly has strong experience in grant applications. I highly recommend their services.

I am Group Finance Director for the International Riding Company Limited, which incorporates the following companies, Harry Hall (on-line retailer of equestrian products and services), Stuncroft Limited (manufacturer and wholesaler of tailored clothing including bespoke MTM suits) and Huufe Limited (Equestrian App that uses GPS to track and trace your rides)

We appointed Clive Owen LLP in April 2017 and since then they have helped to undertake all audit, tax and R&D work for the group and its subsidiaries. Clive Owen have become a valued partner, acting as consultants on the strategic direction of the company.

Our business is unique with many differing options from manufacturing and retail to subscriptions and insurance – Clive Owen have added value by enabling us to provide shareholder wealth.

Providing informative solutions to strategic business decision making above and beyond the traditional role of auditors means that I would absolutely recommend Clive Owen for their continued proactive approach to the direction of the business.

As a fellow business in the professional services sector, we really valued Clive Owen LLP’s clear advice and proactive approach throughout the process.

Their support gave us the confidence to go for the Business Growth Fund grant funding and invest in a new, modern office, which will help to support our next phase of growth.

We felt supported and well guided from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and the team.

Accedo group acquired Aldona Seals and Alpha process controls in a management buyout in May 2020 and we supported them with the process. This involved preparing a business plan and projections to secure funding and producing some sensitivity analysis as part of the due diligence process.
They said;
“Clive Owen rose the occasion and helped us out immensely”.
“It’s a difficult process to go into when you’ve never done something like this before. Just having somebody who has experience, who knows the market and who you have to speak to.  The team provided guidance and made themselves available 24/7. It’s been a real help throughout the whole process”.
