A number of years ago we were introduced to this company by Wigan Business Link. They promised us the earth, charged it too and delivered absolutely nothing. Would I recommend them, what do you think?

Fantastic accountants. First met with Derek Armstrong over 6 years ago. They've given some great business advice through the years. Their tax advice is on par with some of the large nationals I've known without the hefty price tag. I'd definitely recommend them.
