Ben Richardson and John Lamb from Accedo Group, the parent company of Aldona Seals Ltd and Alpha process controls Ltd.
Accedo group acquired Aldona Seals and Alpha process controls in a management buyout in May 2020 and we supported them with the process. This involved preparing a business plan and projections to secure funding and producing some sensitivity analysis as part of the due diligence process.
They said;
“Clive Owen rose the occasion and helped us out immensely”.
“It’s a difficult process to go into when you’ve never done something like this before. Just having somebody who has experience, who knows the market and who you have to speak to.  The team provided guidance and made themselves available 24/7. It’s been a real help throughout the whole process”.

Swaleview park

Swaleview Park is based in the Yorkshire Dales national park. Established in the 1940’s, we sell lodges and luxury caravans as holiday homes. We have been clients of Clive Owen LLP since 2012 – they advise on various aspects of business and finance including VAT, corporation tax, accounts, financial planning and business structure. As we grow as a company, Clive Owen are always supportive, and a company who provide a highly professional, invaluable service.

Clive Owen have been there for us – through many changing seasons. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin Shotton and the team provided excellent support and advice which helped guide us towards the new season and the positive impact on the business of staycations.

Clive Owen add value by keeping us informed of the latest tax, business, and investments news, through a team of experts who always provide a rapid, honest response. We highly recommend the friendly team at Clive Owen for providing a professional, approachable, reliable service; and for guidance which has contributed to business growth.

Swaleview Park

We’ve enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Clive Owen LLP since early 2022 in the key areas of audit & accounts, tax planning and payroll processing services. 

The co-owners and directors of 22 Yards greatly appreciate the work of Jonathan Doyle and Shirley Lamb, along with their colleagues in the York and Darlington offices.

Both teams have a very collaborative approach to looking after us and are very thorough, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. Likewise, always available to answer queries or provide support when needed in timely manner.

Needless to say, we are in safe hands with Clive Owen and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the firm to any business, big or small, looking for great service.

PCE

PCE is headquartered in Teesside and has branches throughout Europe.  As the Group Finance Director, it is vital that I can rely on my advisors to help navigate the compliance and taxation issues that running a European group entails.  The business has used Clive Owen for nearly twenty five years and have worked specifically with Kevin Shotton for the last five.

Kevin and his team perform the full Group audit including our overseas subsidiaries. Further, as well as giving significant input on our UK taxation position, I can and do call on the team’s expertise to help with transfer pricing and other issues associated with running a multinational business.  I genuinely appreciate the time and effort that Kevin puts into the relationship; I know during our meetings that he will have considered issues from a number of different angles meaning he is able to present us with options that we might not otherwise have thought of.

This breadth of knowledge and ownership of the relationship mean that I cannot recommend him highly enough.
