Faultless support

We'd worked here for a long time before the opportunity for us to take over came about. At first we thought it wouldn't be possible - we knew roughly what was involved and weren't sure that we could even raise the money, never mind be successful. Luckily we chose Armstrong Watson to advise us and they gave us all the support we needed. The relationship we have with the team is excellent - they're very straight talking and we feel able to discuss anything, from cash flow to future plans.

Really appreciated

My relationship with John Booth gives me the ability to pick up the phone with a tricky issue or query and have it resolved quickly - it’s really appreciated. The knowledge that, as a compact business, we have an extensive support team at Armstrong Watson taking care of the important accounting and procedural issues enables me to get on with delivering our projects and growing the business. A massive bonus is that we get on like a house on fire!

Sounding board

Armstrong Watson has been my adviser since I started my business over 26 years ago. As the business has grown and developed, so has the relationship. Margaret is part of our extended team - I don’t always take her advice, but I feel secure knowing that she will tell me the way it is. She is a sounding board for my ideas. Businesses take risks, accountants crunch the numbers, so I’m very happy that I’m getting sound advice.

Commercially astute

Both as our accountant and on a personal level, Maurice and I have a lot of genuine faith in Lyn Carroll. She’s very pro-active for us and suggests ideas that she knows are a true fit for our business. Prior to making any major decisions we usually run them by Lyn, thrash out the negatives and positives and thereby make an informed (and usually accurate) decision. Support is always at hand - if we have a decision to make or an idea, Lyn gives us the genuine, honest advice we appreciate. She knows how we operate and what we like to do. This gives her the ability to be so very frank with us. If necessary, I can contact her on a daily basis - nothing is ever too much trouble for her. We keep tight control of our daily accounting, but when it comes to the year-end stuff we are lucky that we can pass everything over to Lyn and her team and they carry out all of the necessary accounting requirements superbly. She is informed and commercially astute - having her reinforce what we are thinking really helps and gives us the confidence we need to grow our business further. She not only has an eye out for our business, but has given us valuable advice for our personal financial health, bringing in advisers to help with financial planning.

Totally comfortable

Armstrong Watson has been involved with us as a partner in West Cumbria, helping us to develop our socio economic plan. We are working together to try to bring private sector investment and new businesses into the Sellafield area.

Armstrong Watson’s people are totally professional: the experience and background of the team I work with (venture capital, banking and even legal) has certainly given us the confidence that we can attract the private sector to invest in West Cumbria. The level of advice Sellafield Ltd has received has been excellent. The team has been easy to talk to. They listen well and are open to our ideas. I feel totally comfortable in knowing that I’m dealing with professionals. We don’t need to educate one another and this enables us to just get on and do the business.
