The Forum Darlington

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.”

“Clive Owen was recommended to me by a friend and business associate. Naturally, you are hesitant when it comes to accounting, finance and taxation.  Especially for established businesses with long-standing service providers. However, the transition to Clive Owen has been the most Enlightening and beneficial decision I’ve made as a business owner.  I cannot be more appreciative to every team member within the organisation I’ve dealt with. Looking forward to a long-standing partnership”.
