Jim Lockhart has been working with Cricket Scotland Limited for over a decade.

David Johnson
Financial Controller, Cricket Scotland
Becky has a strong desire to understand our business and provides a level of commercial input that sees her take pride in the successes that follow. As with all of our experiences with Armstrong Watson and Becky in particular we found the support during COVID-19 invaluable. The pro-active approach to identifying issues and addressing them on our behalf meant we could in turn concentrate on the variety of other matters at hand. The extensive knowledge and the support and experience provides a level of reassurance that offers peace of mind for both the organisational and business owner/directors interests.
Neil McIntyre
Managing Director of Kingmoor Park
It was a pleasure to work with the Corporate Finance, Tax and Audit teams at Armstrong Watson during our acquisition of Finlaysons Contracts. A proactive, pragmatic and collaborative approach ensured that the opportunity was presented in the best way for all parties and the skills of the Armstrong Watson team, along with their strict attention to detail, instilled great confidence in the process. While I don’t plan on buying another business for a while, I would certainly have no problem doing it all again with this team.
Tommy Cubby
Managing Director, Cubby Construction Limited
Andrew and Becky leading the audit and tax teams at AW have both provided excellent support to us over a number of years. Tax positions change regularly, so we always hold regular face-to-face meetings with Becky and the tax team to ensure we stay ahead of these changes, and the support is always up to date and proactive. Our audits are delivered flexibly, utilising technology to ensure the audit is completed in an efficient way as possible, and Andrew and the AW team have always flexed their approach as our capabilities have evolved. Importantly, we have continuity of relationship in both audit and tax, so the service always retains relevancy and we can stay focused on key issues.
Ben Humpage
CFO, NRL Recruitment
Graham significantly improved our tax position, ensuring that it was correct for our business. He successfully communicated our unique complexities to HMRC and other relevant authorities, all of whom who were satisfied with the submission. This delivers a tax efficiency and significant saving that directly improves our business growth, boosts our R&D capabilities and will hasten the launch of a new, job-creating product in Cumbria.
We are absolutely delighted with the outcome.

Armstrong Watson have been our accountants and tax advisers for many years. We have an exceptionally good working relationship, so much so that we see them as another arm of our team here at The Lakes. They not only deal with our accounts and tax affairs, they understand our business and the way we run it, which is so important when we talk through problems or opportunities. They have supported us throughout a period of significant growth and it goes without saying that their pro-active approach to business and tax planning has been invaluable. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
