Client perspective
In their words

We have a long and established relationship with Clive Owen, who have become a trusted partner to our business based on many years of feedback, experience and guidance relating to accountancy and audit. The team always acts in the most professional manner, responding promptly to our needs, and they offer knowledge and expertise that is invaluable to our team. The service they offer in such a fast moving environment greatly supports our ability to act responsibly on behalf of our own clients and as such we would not hesitate to recommend the professional services they offer.

I would like to put on record how highly I rate the services of Clive Owen LLP. I have used Clive Owen as both my company and personal accountants since 2011 and have benefited enormously from the broad range of services that they offer.

On many occasions Clive Owen LLP has saved me money personally and for my businesses through efficiencies implemented and advice given on various tax issues, VAT, grant funding etc.

I believe the integrity, reliability, experience and knowledge are second to none in the North-East.

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.

Carolyn Dent from Bishop Chadwick Education Trust said,
“We have used Clive Owen LLP since February 2016, when we were incorporated. They originally acted as both our external and internal auditors, and since the financial year 2020/21, they have acted solely as our external auditors.
They have also supported us with auditing services for teachers’ pensions and external grant assurance services.
Our organisation must comply with the Academy Trust Handbook, and the work we do with Clive Owen LLP enables us to achieve this requirement.
Through the audit process, our auditors help us improve performance and streamline our processes, ensuring compliance and allowing us to better support our schools. As our auditors, they highlight our strengths and provide guidance where we have areas for development.
I would recommend Clive Owen LLP. Their processes are thorough, robust, and timely. Our auditors are always helpful and supportive, and happy to answer any ad hoc queries throughout the year.
