Client perspective
In their words

NEG Architectural Systems design, manufacture and install architectural façade systems from our base in Washington, Tyne and Wear. Following strong, sustained growth we reached a point where we had a bottleneck in one of our key production processes. We had to make a decision as to whether to invest in new profiling equipment or to wait until market demand became clearer. We learned about the opportunity to secure grant support to de-risk our investment and appointed the Clive Owen grants advisory team to undertake the bid writing process on our behalf.

 

We were successful with our application, and this has allowed us to commit to the new machinery and create new jobs in the business. The support from Clive Owen allowed us to speed up the application timeline whilst our management team focussed on the business. We would recommend working with Joe Vera-Sanso and Carl Wright on all things grants.

NEG Architectural Systems Limited

At Kasai UK, we greatly valued the support provided by Clive Owen LLP in securing a Business Growth Fund grant to help develop our solvent-free manufacturing process.
Their expert guidance and proactive management of the application played a key role in helping us access the funding needed to support our greener, more sustainable production ambitions.
As a business that is becoming increasingly climate-conscious, it was important for us to work with advisers who share similar values. Clive Owen’s commitment as climate champions meant they really understood both our commercial objectives and our environmental priorities, adding genuine value throughout the process.

Clive Owen LLP has been the ideal professional partner for the school for many years. Chris and his team are helpful, supportive and genuinely interested in our progress and success. With an extensive understanding of the education sector and its ongoing challenges, advice is pragmatic and clearly presented whilst projects are delivered in a timely and collaborative manner and within budget. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over five years now and I would highly recommend their services. Historically we used Big 4 advisors and I am pleased we made the move as we very much feel a valued client of the firm.

Currently they act as auditors and assist with tax advisory and compliance work. In addition, we have worked with their grant advisory team in order to secure a grant to assist with our business growth.

Over the years they have developed a good understanding of our business, managing expectations and delivering to agreed timescales. This continued throughout the pandemic where through good communication and team work on both sides, we were able to sign off the 2020 audit in line with previous timescales whilst conducting the audit remotely.

The staff team are professional and flexible. Kevin Shotton is always available to support and provide proactive advice.

We get great service and support from the team at Clive Owen LLP.
