The advisers businesses
and individuals turn to

I have worked overseas for a number of years in Australasia and had concerns with my UK tax situation.

I felt daunted in dealing with multiple jurisdictions and, on recommendation, contacted Lee Watson for help and advice.

Lee’s calm manner and pragmatic, open, sensible approach helped me thought the whole process and has resolved the situation – giving me immense peace of mind.

This ethos extends to the whole team at Clive Owen who answered my questions and queries promptly, clearly, and with professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team if you need assistance with international tax affairs – they made it very easy and straightforward.

“Clive Owen provided fantastic support in helping us secure funding through the Durham Business Growth Programme, which enabled us to relocate to larger premises and bring two sites together into a single, centralised facility.

Their advice and guidance throughout the process made the application straightforward and gave us the confidence we needed to move forward. Securing this funding has allowed us to strengthen our operations and create a solid platform for future growth.”

I am Group Finance Director for the International Riding Company Limited, which incorporates the following companies, Harry Hall (on-line retailer of equestrian products and services), Stuncroft Limited (manufacturer and wholesaler of tailored clothing including bespoke MTM suits) and Huufe Limited (Equestrian App that uses GPS to track and trace your rides)

We appointed Clive Owen LLP in April 2017 and since then they have helped to undertake all audit, tax and R&D work for the group and its subsidiaries. Clive Owen have become a valued partner, acting as consultants on the strategic direction of the company.

Our business is unique with many differing options from manufacturing and retail to subscriptions and insurance – Clive Owen have added value by enabling us to provide shareholder wealth.

Providing informative solutions to strategic business decision making above and beyond the traditional role of auditors means that I would absolutely recommend Clive Owen for their continued proactive approach to the direction of the business.

At Syselek, we develop innovative technology and toolchain solutions for transport decarbonisation and automation. We have been very fortunate to receive grant funding from Innovate UK. This has helped develop several of our innovative solutions.
One recent project was Fleet AI Recharging (“FAIR”). It explored new AI-based algorithms to accurately predict the energy consumption of electric HGVs. This enables live decisions about smart charging. These decisions help reduce operating costs and accelerate decarbonisation of the freight and logistics sector.
We began working with Clive Owen LLP two years ago. Since then, they have supported all our grant funding audit requirements. Their approach to the audit process is very smooth and intuitive. Their guidance has been easy to follow. Their quick responses to our questions have ensured our full compliance in all grant funding claims. This has enabled us to close out all our projects promptly.
We have been really impressed with the support from the grants team over these last two years. We are fully confident in their support going forward. We would certainly recommend Clive Owen’s grants team to anyone seeking Innovate UK grant funding audit services.
