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 with Clive Owen LLP for over 7 years since I bought the business. The firm prepares our annual accounts and assists with our CLC audit and compliance work. They also provide ad hoc accountancy and audit support and advice as and when it is needed.

What I really value about the firm is that they have developed a thorough understanding of our business which supports our decision-making and helps us drive the business forward. Their accountancy and audit support are good at managing our expectations and always deliver to agreed timescales.

The team are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Chris Beaumont is always available to support and provide proactive advice when we need it.

Their accountancy and audit support ensure we get great service from the team at Clive Owen LLP, and I would highly recommend their services.

Carolyn Dent from Bishop Chadwick Education Trust said,
“We have used Clive Owen LLP since February 2016, when we were incorporated. They originally acted as both our external and internal auditors, and since the financial year 2020/21, they have acted solely as our external auditors.
They have also supported us with auditing services for teachers’ pensions and external grant assurance services.
Our organisation must comply with the Academy Trust Handbook, and the work we do with Clive Owen LLP enables us to achieve this requirement.
Through the audit process, our auditors help us improve performance and streamline our processes, ensuring compliance and allowing us to better support our schools. As our auditors, they highlight our strengths and provide guidance where we have areas for development.
I would recommend Clive Owen LLP. Their processes are thorough, robust, and timely. Our auditors are always helpful and supportive, and happy to answer any ad hoc queries throughout the year.

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years. I have found them to be an invaluable partner, helping us face the complex challenges of Academy accounts. They provide challenge and support to the board and explain complex accounts clearly, showing the trust’s underlying financial performance.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually. Clive Owen LLP adds value by running seminars to explain the changes and how to implement them. They also contribute to the Kreston Academy Benchmarking Report, which we find very useful.
They have a collaborative approach and are always available to answer queries or provide support.
As leaders in their field, Chris Beaumont and his team are proactive and genuinely invested in our success. They deliver on time and within budget. The peace of mind this gives us means I would definitely recommend them.”
