Swaleview Park is based in the Yorkshire Dales national park. Established in the 1940’s, we sell lodges and luxury caravans as holiday homes. We have been clients of Clive Owen LLP since 2012 – they advise on various aspects of business and finance including VAT, corporation tax, accounts, financial planning and business structure. As we grow as a company, Clive Owen are always supportive, and a company who provide a highly professional, invaluable service.

Clive Owen have been there for us – through many changing seasons. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin Shotton and the team provided excellent support and advice which helped guide us towards the new season and the positive impact on the business of staycations.

Clive Owen add value by keeping us informed of the latest tax, business, and investments news, through a team of experts who always provide a rapid, honest response. We highly recommend the friendly team at Clive Owen for providing a professional, approachable, reliable service; and for guidance which has contributed to business growth.

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.

Allison Mckay, CEO and Founder Director, said:
“The Forum is a live music venue and community arts hub in central Darlington. It has rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, and delivers educational services and creative activities. The venue operates as a social enterprise in the form of a Community Benefit Society.
We needed investment to support our growth plan, including ambitious capital improvements to our Borough Road building. We approached the Clive Owen LLP grants team to help with the financial modelling and forecasts needed for a grant application. Their expertise was crucial for our investment bid.
Eleanor Kay from the Clive Owen LLP was assigned to support us. She took great care in understanding our needs and business model. This resulted in a comprehensive set of financial assumptions and forecasts.
I highly recommend Clive Owen LLP, particularly Eleanor and the grants team. Their support has strengthened our business case and growth plan, giving us confidence in our ability to raise investment and achieve our ambitions.”

Stephen A Sims (Cars) Limited is a Suzuki dealership based on McMullen Road in Darlington. I appointed Clive Owen LLP to undertake the audit and related corporation tax matters of the Stephen A Sims (Cars) Limited group (7 companies).

Since that date they have assisted proactively with corporate and personal tax matters. In addition they have provided strategic direction on various matters including directors’ loan accounts and shareholdings. I would be pleased to recommend Clive Owen LLP to other motor traders looking for professional proactive advice.
