Our switch to Kreston Reeves was one of the best decisions I have made for the business as the level of service and advice we now receive is excellent. Kreston Reeves managed to exceed my expectations; they have a great understanding of our business, perform work efficiently and effectively and do not get bogged down in areas unnecessarily. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Whilst we knew what we wanted to achieve for both parties, Kreston Reeves “plugged the gaps” to ensure all pertinent commercial and taxation areas were covered to help achieve a successful outcome for everyone on time!

Ian Savage, CEO, Chartway

We opened our first UK club in 2012 and Kreston Reeves has been our trusted advisor in assisting us every step of the way. Prior to our entry into the UK market, Kreston Reeves advised us on the financial and taxation implications of entering the UK that needed to be considered. Kreston Reeves now handle all of our UK accounting and taxation needs and their proactiveness and responsiveness has helped make our international development into the UK as smooth as possible.

Andrew Griggs and his team masterminded the transaction. It was great to have them at our side throughout the acquisition working alongside our solicitors, DMH Stallard, and Lloyds Bank.

Tim Levey of Kreston Reeves provided advice prior to the sale, helping us get the business ready. When we had signed heads of terms, Tim and Hazell Gibson worked tirelessly during the due diligence stage to answer the buyer’s numerous and detailed financial questions.

Andrew and the team at Kreston Reeves smoothly and effectively led us through the sale of our business. While we were under no pressure to sell, we expected the procedure to be complicated and time consuming for us, which we found daunting. Their technical expertise and attention to detail throughout the process was excellent. Each stage of this complex transaction was explained in terms we could understand and they reassured us throughout. Along with this technical advice we were impressed at how Andrew and his team really understood how we felt about the sale – knowing it was more than just a transaction for us. We were highly impressed by how Kreston Reeves, through their various services and contacts, ensured we obtained the best all round from the sale of the company. However, what stood out for us the most was the personal and approachable service we received and the genuine interest they had in our business. The advice was open and forthcoming, and we were able to pick up the phone with ease. I trusted them through the whole process and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kreston Reeves to others!
