Clive Owen LLP has been the ideal professional partner for the school for many years. Chris and his team are helpful, supportive and genuinely interested in our progress and success. With an extensive understanding of the education sector and its ongoing challenges, advice is pragmatic and clearly presented whilst projects are delivered in a timely and collaborative manner and within budget. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

The best thing about working with Clive Owen LLP is that they are both proactive and reactive and I feel as if we in fact work in partnership with them. Academy accounts are very complex and I have found Clive Owen LLP are leaders in their field and I have the upmost confidence in the advice and support that they give.

NEG Architectural Systems design, manufacture and install architectural façade systems from our base in Washington, Tyne and Wear. Following strong, sustained growth we reached a point where we had a bottleneck in one of our key production processes. We had to make a decision as to whether to invest in new profiling equipment or to wait until market demand became clearer. We learned about the opportunity to secure grant support to de-risk our investment and appointed the Clive Owen grants advisory team to undertake the bid writing process on our behalf.

 

We were successful with our application, and this has allowed us to commit to the new machinery and create new jobs in the business. The support from Clive Owen allowed us to speed up the application timeline whilst our management team focussed on the business. We would recommend working with Joe Vera-Sanso and Carl Wright on all things grants.

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.
