Clive Owen Durham

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP since 2011. Throughout this time, Chris Beaumont and his team have consistently delivered exceptional service and support. Their expertise in managing my year-end accounts and handling ad hoc accounting needs has been invaluable to my business.
They proactively identify potential business issues. Chris and Clive Owen provide insightful advice that helps me navigate my financial landscape with confidence.
The entire team is personable and professional. They remain approachable, respond quickly, and always make time to answer my questions—no matter how big or small. They listen carefully, explain complex matters clearly, and make me feel like a valued partner rather than just another client.
They complete work promptly and meet deadlines consistently. I rely on them to deliver accurate and thorough financial reports, which lets me focus on my business with peace of mind knowing my finances are in capable hands.

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.

Fusion Joinery are a bespoke joinery solutions business based in the North East of England, manufacturing a range of made-to-order timber products for commercial, residential and domestic projects. We have grown strongly in recent years, but have relied upon external equipment hire to deliver larger projects. We have the opportunity to secure further large contract work, however in order to be more competitive we identified the need to own our own crane. Whilst we were able to source a suitable crane, the investment required was significant and we needed some financial support.
The grants advisory team at Clive Owen supported us in securing a substantial grant from the Business Growth Fund capital grant scheme. The Clive Owen team took the bid writing process off our hands and delivered a very quick turnaround, allowing us to access the funding just before the scheme closed. We have now been able to acquire the crane and have pressed on with our growth plans which include new contracts and new employment.
I strongly suggest that businesses seeking grant support consider utilising the expertise of Carl Wright and his team at Clive Owen LLP.

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.
