Before moving into insolvency advisory, I spent time working in [financial services / accountancy / banking, specify]. That background gave me something that matters enormously in this work: I understand how the system looks from the other side of the table, from the perspective of HMRC, the banks, and the creditors.
When I work on a case, I am not just guiding a process. I am thinking about how each creditor is likely to respond, what their priorities are, and how to navigate the situation in a way that produces the best possible outcome for the director or individual I am working with.
That experience is what my clients value, not paperwork.
[Lee — this is where your personal story goes. Why did you choose insolvency? Was there a moment that clarified it for you? A client whose situation made you realise what this work actually meant? It doesn’t need to be dramatic — but it does need to be honest and personal. A paragraph or two is enough.]
What I can say is this: after [X] years of doing this work, the part that still matters most to me is the moment a director realises the situation is more manageable than they feared. That moment — when the weight starts to lift — is why I do what I do.
From the very first conversation I got peace of mind. I knew exactly where I stood and what was going to happen. The whole process was far simpler than I had imagined.
When you call me, you speak to me. When your case is being managed, I manage it. There are no handoffs to junior staff, no account managers between us, and no moments where you're left wondering who's dealing with your situation. You always know.
I won't recommend a procedure if it doesn't fit your situation. If CVL is the right route, I'll tell you. If there's a better alternative, a CVA, a pre-pack, or simply doing nothing yet, I'll tell you that instead. My job is to give you the right answer, not the easiest one to deliver.
Insolvency is a sensitive matter and I treat it as such. Everything discussed in our first call, and throughout the process, is completely confidential. I understand the anxiety that comes with picking up the phone in this situation, and I work to make that as straightforward as possible from the first moment.
You will know the full cost before you commit to anything. Fees are fixed with no hidden extras. In many cases the fee is paid from company assets, meaning no direct cost to the director. If that's not possible, I'll explain the options clearly.
I'm based in Stourbridge and work primarily across the Black Country and the wider West Midlands. I know the local business community, I'm accessible, and I'm available when you need me, not just during office hours.
