True words

I would like to start off by thank you Lee, you made me feel at ease from your very first email, this continued throughout our many emails and in to our first meeting. Even though I was feeling overwhelmed at times, you explained the processes and need for information in a way that I could understand. I feel completely supported and valued as a customer and I’m so glad I found an accountant I feel comfortable with.

Ben you are an absolute pleasure to work with, thank you for all your help around the accounts and creating the yearly rental spreadsheet for me, I’m sure it will make my life 100% easier and it will for sure make your life easier going forward .

Thank you both so much for all the work and dedication you have provided me throughout the disclosure, I can’t thank you enough. You are both professional and supportive a great combo.

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.

RheEnergise Limited grant support by Clive Owen LLP

We were very pleased with the service provided by Eleanor at Clive Owen, who prepared an independent accountant’s report to support our grant funding claim. Eleanor expertly guided us through the process, making it very easy on our side. We would definitely consider working with Clive Owen again.

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.
