Ayrshire Saw Centre Limited
We have worked with Glen Drummond for many years, over which time they have always been very helpful and offered professional advice and co-operation, often going the extra mile. They prepare our wages, VAT and annual returns accurately and punctually and we have no hesitation in recommending them to any business large or small as they work in an efficient and understanding way with business owners.
Ian Bennie, Offshore Consultant to the Oil & Gas Industr
I have been a client of Glen Drummond's for approximately 15 years (is it really that long). Initially working through the Schedule D tax system then through a Limited Company as a Sole Director. I have always found Glen Drummond professional and efficient regarding my financial/tax affairs. They do not offer hair brained schemes to save you tax, which may backfire on you in years to come but offer you clear professional advice and service.
