I first encountered Justin when he provided training for my work colleagues about the introduction of Auto Enrolment and I was impressed by the quality of the information provided and Justin's clear and knowledgeable response to concerns and questions raised. When I was looking for someone to provide me with pension advice leading up to my retirement, Justin immediately came to mind. The advice and support which Justin has provided has been excellent - just the right level of detail to allow me to make informed and realistic decisions about my pension and future finances. Justin has certainly lived up to my expectations - brilliant!

I have been a customer of Armstrong Watson for over 30 years and the team have consistently supported and helped my with my business and the decisions that I have made.
David Threlkeld, is enthusiastic and professional when giving advice and has advised me on many aspects associated with my business, such as change in ownership, inheritance tax planning, VAT, buying and selling of Vehicles as well as general tax planning. All this and great value for money. David is always responsive to any questions or enquiries that I may have and gets back to me very quickly, he's also a great pleasure to work with. I would recommend Armstrong Watson and David Threlkeld for anyone seeking an accountant.

I’m a little surprised at the low levels of stress throughout the whole mortgage process!! I’m so happy that I was put in touch with you - you’ve been fab and we're so excited. Thanks again Helen!

After a lifetime of working for a living, we all have a fear that our finances will be insufficient to support us throughout our retirement. Long term financial planning is accordingly hugely important and we must have trust in our financial advisers.
Stuart and the Armstrong Watson team took the time to understand all aspects of our personal circumstances before giving advice. This is the end of the relationship for many advisers but to Stuart and his team, it is merely the start. Their ongoing commitment gives us great confidence that our financial future is being well cared for.

I first approached Armstrong Watson Financial Planning for advice on retirement and pension planning. Stuart helped me plan the most effective way to maximise my pension benefits and income needs and now also provides advice to both me and my wife on our investment portfolios.
Pensions and investments are a minefield these days but Stuart has taken the load from us and left us to enjoy our retirement!

Having used Armstrong Watson as our accountants and tax advisers over the last 8 years for various businesses within the High Spirits Leisure Group, we can highly recommend them to any serious business operators.
From acquisitions, sales, changes of banking facilities, tax affairs and planning, not to mention personal tax affairs, we have found them to be of the highest professional standard and our main contact Richard Andrew is always available for help and advice in a friendly effective manner.
During the last 12 months, as part of our expansion plans, we took our internal accounts team away from onsite operations to a dedicated accounts office in Ulverston. This presented various opportunities but also some difficulties, but with the support of Armstrong Watson, we were able to implement new systems, provide staff training and assessment programmes along with new recruitment initiatives. The end result is a highly efficient team ready for our continued growth!
Armstrong Watson are currently advising us on projections and finance for some new & exciting ventures, all in all a great bunch of people who really do make a positive difference to our financial future.

Armstrong Watson have been extremely helpful in assisting Eureka secure a Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief claim. At the outset, Olivia came to visit the museum to see the exhibition space and to talk us through the claim, showing knowledge and enthusiasm. Throughout the process, Will kept me updated on the progress of the claim, advising us on the qualifying costs and accompanying narrative, to ensure all eligible expenses were included in the claim and our filing position was robust. Thanks to Armstrong Watson’s proactive advice, we have been able to make a substantial claim this year and have gained valuable insights which will allow us to maximise the available relief for future exhibitions.

Having Armstrong Watson as our Accountants over the last month has helped my knowledge base as a book keeper increase, and in turn has assisted our company in many ways, with compliance and profitability. The fact that you offer this service to your clients is excellent and is exactly what we needed from our Accountant partner firm.
Knowing that I can pick up the phone, send an quick email to ask if 'I am doing this right?’ and have assistance for those occasions when I need an expert to run something by, has been, and is invaluable.
