What our clients say
We're committed to delivering the best client experience. Hear from those who have worked with us and discover how we've helped them achieve their goals.
It is now the appropriate time to express my sincere thanks on behalf of myself, Sarah and the directors for the excellence of the service, advice and guidance that Armstrong Watson have patiently and professionally provided throughout a prolonged and difficult period. The company has achieved the outcome it set out to do with your invaluable help.
From the moment when the decision was made to seek insolvency advice and appoint Armstrong Watson yourself and Ann have calmly and methodically helped us understand what the realistic options were and how to set about progressing them. This was a complex transaction for a number of reasons and needed patience and understanding from everyone involved but it also needed the constructive challenge that you provided to ensure that realistic decisions were made as we encountered a series of obstacles and delays because of the complexities we encountered and had to deal with.
In the pre-appointment period the role of the insolvency advisor changes as the process goes through different phases along the journey into administration. It is imperative that your advisors explain this very clearly, the need for this and provide unambiguous guidance on what is required from yourself and colleagues to hit a tight timetable with little room for error. Although it was a very intense and demanding period I cannot underestimate the importance of your key advisers striking the right balance of calm, clarity, and urgency – you and Ann provided this throughout the entire process.
My sincere thanks and regards.
