I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism, wise counsel, and patience whilst supporting me with this [tax advice]. I’m conscious that the tight timeframe hasn’t made things easy, but you’ve handled it with composure and expertise – and I’m very grateful.

I’ve seen less precise and slower F1 pit stops than the service from Adam [Wingrove] and the team.

ADM Pressings is a Newcastle-based manufacturer that specialises in metal pressings, production, fabrication, assembly, painting and customised turnkey solutions.

Following an introduction by Joe Routledge, Membership Manager of the North East Automotive Alliance, Grants Partner Carl Wright and the wider Grants team worked to a tight schedule to secure six-figure grant funding for new equipment.

Jonathan Hunter, Commercial Engineer at ADM Pressings, said:
Carl was very helpful at short notice for a bid writing assignment for a grant to fund new capital equipment for our site. He and his team quickly understood our needs and guided us through the process, providing easy to understand updates and insight along the way.  Always professional and efficient, this ensured a positive outcome, meaning we were successful in securing the grant and could achieve our project timeline.

I would have no hesitation reaching out to the Clive Owen LLP team again should similar services be required.

I have worked overseas for a number of years in Australasia and had concerns with my UK tax situation.

I felt daunted in dealing with multiple jurisdictions and, on recommendation, contacted Lee Watson for help and advice.

Lee’s calm manner and pragmatic, open, sensible approach helped me thought the whole process and has resolved the situation – giving me immense peace of mind.

This ethos extends to the whole team at Clive Owen who answered my questions and queries promptly, clearly, and with professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team if you need assistance with international tax affairs – they made it very easy and straightforward.
