Yorkshire Profiles provides nationwide metal laser cutting and fabrication services to a wide range of industries.
We turned to Clive Owen LLP for support with our year-end accounts services and corporation tax calculations after experiencing slow response times from our previous accountants.
From the start, the team at Clive Owen LLP took the time to understand our business and answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. Thanks to their efficient approach, we were able to file our accounts promptly after our year end, enabling us to focus on business planning for the year ahead.
Their personal service, attention to detail, and speed have been exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend Clive Owen LLP to any business in need of reliable year-end accounts services and expert corporation tax advice.
We will continue to work with Clive Owen LLP in the future.

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.

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.
