Clive Owen grants advisory

Fusion Joinery are a bespoke joinery solutions business based in the North East of England, manufacturing a range of made-to-order timber products for commercial, residential and domestic projects. We have grown strongly in recent years, but have relied upon external equipment hire to deliver larger projects. We have the opportunity to secure further large contract work, however in order to be more competitive we identified the need to own our own crane. Whilst we were able to source a suitable crane, the investment required was significant and we needed some financial support.
The grants advisory team at Clive Owen supported us in securing a substantial grant from the Business Growth Fund capital grant scheme. The Clive Owen team took the bid writing process off our hands and delivered a very quick turnaround, allowing us to access the funding just before the scheme closed. We have now been able to acquire the crane and have pressed on with our growth plans which include new contracts and new employment.
I strongly suggest that businesses seeking grant support consider utilising the expertise of Carl Wright and his team at Clive Owen LLP.

We have used Clive Owen’s audit services for seven years and would recommend them to any business requiring an audit. Our main point of contact is audit partner Chris Beaumont who heads up a knowledgeable and experienced team so that every year our audit feels like a valuable part of our financial strategy rather than simply a statutory chore. Chris has always been approachable and helpful when we’ve required support on any financial matter pertaining to our accounts and their presentation. They represent top tier knowledge without the top tier bills

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.”

“Clive Owen’s support was instrumental in helping us secure the funding we needed to invest in new manufacturing equipment at our Cramlington site, securing the future of 12 skilled jobs.

The Business Growth Fund grant helped us to enhance our production capabilities and support continued growth, and the team provided valuable knowledge and experience throughout the grant application process.”
