Testimonials

Shi-APD

"We changed auditors from a Big Four firm to HW Reading five years ago and since that time the quality of service that we have received has been excellent in all respects.

In particular their pro-activeness and year end planning has meant that our tight reporting deadlines to the US have always been met and their staff have always been friendly but highly professional.

We particularly like the fact that we deal with one partner (John Bailey) for all aspects of our business and he ensures that the expert resources within his firm are utilised for our business at the right time and just as importantly at the right price, which is a far cry from our previous Big Four advisers".

"We have used the service of HW in Reading for three years now, for our management accounts and financial reporting. The service we receive is excellent , and includes providing information that is useful before we ask for it. An example is a seminar that was held by HW recently on pensions legislation - it is very useful to get an overview of that kind of thing.

The service delivery from HW is not only proactive, but also very cordial, to our mutual benefit".

Alun Jones,
Chief Executive

Pendax

"About three years ago we took the decision to change auditors from one of the big firms to HW. Since then we have found all of the staff at HW to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the expertise suited to a company of our size.

The quality of their service has been first class and we have really noticed the commercial commonsense approach of the audit team.

I am also delighted with the financial saving we have made by moving to HW. This has been significant compared to our previous auditors and must be recognised as an ongoing saving year after year."

"We have been a client of HW for over ten years. During this period they have always been able to provide the appropriate resources to assist in the strategic growth of our group.

We have been particularly impressed at their ability to minimise personal and corporate tax liabilities and, most importantly, to consider the 'bigger picture' ".

Altohiway Limited

"We have used HW for ad hoc specialist accounting work where we felt we needed another view or opinion.

Working with Peter Wright, our contact partner at HW, we found him to be responsive and helpful and the advice both thorough and thoughtful."

Breast Cancer Care

I acted as treasurer to a national charity, Breast Cancer Care, from 1980 until 2002. During this period Breast Cancer Care grew from a comparatively small organisation to its well-established position today.

Breast Cancer Care appointed HW, with John Bailey acting as engagement partner, in approximately 1990 and they acted until comparatively recently. During this period, they carried out their responsibilities professionally and conscientiously and were of considerable assistance when accounting or taxation issues arose.

I have no hesitation in recommending the quality of their service.
