“Brian has assisted a number of our clients who have required advice from an insolvency practitioner. What sets Brian apart is his honesty, and reluctance to opt for what may be the most financially beneficial route for himself. Instead, he seeks to understand the business owners objectives, and provides a range of solutions (some of which will not require his services) - ensuring that his client understands the implications of each route. This impartial approach to his advice is the reason we recommend him.
Over and above that - Brian is a great guy, and our clients who have worked with him have all commented about how they feel at ease with him, which is essential during such an emotional time for a business owner.
I'd highly recommend Brian.”
Carl Reacher, Dennis & Turnbull accountants
