True words
Real clients

We’ve enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Clive Owen LLP since early 2022 in the key areas of audit & accounts, tax planning and payroll processing services. 

The co-owners and directors of 22 Yards greatly appreciate the work of Jonathan Doyle and Shirley Lamb, along with their colleagues in the York and Darlington offices.

Both teams have a very collaborative approach to looking after us and are very thorough, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. Likewise, always available to answer queries or provide support when needed in timely manner.

Needless to say, we are in safe hands with Clive Owen and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the firm to any business, big or small, looking for great service.

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”.

I have worked overseas for a number of years in Australasia and had concerns with my UK tax situation.

I felt daunted in dealing with multiple jurisdictions and, on recommendation, contacted Lee Watson for help and advice.

Lee’s calm manner and pragmatic, open, sensible approach helped me thought the whole process and has resolved the situation – giving me immense peace of mind.

This ethos extends to the whole team at Clive Owen who answered my questions and queries promptly, clearly, and with professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team if you need assistance with international tax affairs – they made it very easy and straightforward.
