We have worked with Clive Owen LLP during the school’s first year of Academy status and have found the company to be a thoroughly professional organisation. As well as undertaking the yearend audit and responsible officer role, they have provided a number of training courses which we have found very useful. Of particular interest was the session on ‘Academy Finance’ where governors gain a better understanding of the issues we may face as an Academy – funding environment, VAT, gift aid, corporation tax and cash flow implications to name but a few.

Carmel College, Chief Executive Officer
Ben Richardson and John Lamb from Accedo Group, the parent company of Aldona Seals Ltd and Alpha process controls Ltd.
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”.

FAI Farms works with leading global businesses, using science, technology, and data to create practical tools that improve on-farm results and sustainability in animal supply chains. We recently secured substantial UK grant funding for our FLOCKWISE project, focused on enhancing the health, welfare, and productivity of laying hens.
Clive Owen supported us with grant audit services, including an independent accountant’s report to access our FLOCKWISE funding. Eleanor Kay and Carl Wright guided us through the process, which was quick and seamless. Their expertise and collaborative approach ensured our grant claims were complete and compliant.
I highly recommend Clive Owen’s grant team to anyone needing UK grant audit services.
To learn more about our Grants team, contact Eleanor Kay or Carl Wright.

“Clive Owen provided fantastic support in helping us secure funding through the Durham Business Growth Programme, which enabled us to relocate to larger premises and bring two sites together into a single, centralised facility.
Their advice and guidance throughout the process made the application straightforward and gave us the confidence we needed to move forward. Securing this funding has allowed us to strengthen our operations and create a solid platform for future growth.”
