Clive Owen Durham

As a fellow business in the professional services sector, we really valued Clive Owen LLP’s clear advice and proactive approach throughout the process.

Their support gave us the confidence to go for the Business Growth Fund grant funding and invest in a new, modern office, which will help to support our next phase of growth.

We felt supported and well guided from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and the team.

At Syselek, we develop innovative technology and toolchain solutions for transport decarbonisation and automation. We have been very fortunate to receive grant funding from Innovate UK. This has helped develop several of our innovative solutions.
One recent project was Fleet AI Recharging (“FAIR”). It explored new AI-based algorithms to accurately predict the energy consumption of electric HGVs. This enables live decisions about smart charging. These decisions help reduce operating costs and accelerate decarbonisation of the freight and logistics sector.
We began working with Clive Owen LLP two years ago. Since then, they have supported all our grant funding audit requirements. Their approach to the audit process is very smooth and intuitive. Their guidance has been easy to follow. Their quick responses to our questions have ensured our full compliance in all grant funding claims. This has enabled us to close out all our projects promptly.
We have been really impressed with the support from the grants team over these last two years. We are fully confident in their support going forward. We would certainly recommend Clive Owen’s grants team to anyone seeking Innovate UK grant funding audit services.

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.

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over 7 years since I bought the business. The firm prepares our annual accounts and assists with our CLC audit and compliance work. They also provide ad hoc accountancy and audit support and advice as and when it is needed.

What I really value about the firm is that they have developed a thorough understanding of our business which supports our decision-making and helps us drive the business forward. Their accountancy and audit support are good at managing our expectations and always deliver to agreed timescales.

The team are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Chris Beaumont is always available to support and provide proactive advice when we need it.

Their accountancy and audit support ensure we get great service from the team at Clive Owen LLP, and I would highly recommend their services.
