“We have used Clive Owen LLP for the last 4 years and have used them across a range of services. Initially using them for transactional support and then more recently they have been our auditors and we have used them for our payroll services. The firm has worked very closely with us over the past 4 years as we have looked to grow the business.”

Stiller Warehousing & Distribution specialises in storing and distributing palletised goods. We have over 400,000 square feet of high-quality, food-grade ambient warehousing and a large distribution fleet. We also offer contract packaging and assembly services.
Recently, we expanded our contract packing operations. To refine our financial case and clarify our vision, we engaged Carl Wright and Joe Vera-Sanso from Clive Owen LLP’s grants advisory team. They helped us secure grant funding from the Durham Business Growth Programme.
Carl and Joe managed the entire bid writing process. They also supported us in discussions with the fund manager, UMi Commercial, and the Business Durham team. Their communication was excellent throughout. We secured substantial grant support, which gave us confidence to invest in our contract packaging division.
The Clive Owen team clearly has strong experience in grant applications. I highly recommend their services.

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years. I have found them to be an invaluable partner, helping us face the complex challenges of Academy accounts. They provide challenge and support to the board and explain complex accounts clearly, showing the trust’s underlying financial performance.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually.
