Incredible ! Extremely Efficient !
Simon Horwood and Paul Cowdery together with Laura Pink were phenomenal. From instruction to resolution was one week ! Every penny of a substantial amount that was owed to my business was recovered. Momentum was maintained throughout.
I would, without hesitation, use them again.
Highly recommended.

The team at Clarke & Sons are fantastic. We have worked very closely with Nigel Tranah on a number of transactions and he is fantastic. We always know we are getting sound advice, under pressure of deadlines he can absolutely perform and make what feels like miracles happen!
I can't recommend Nigel and the firm enough.
