“The first tranche of funding has allowed us to create new jobs, doubling our workforce and also expand the sales team to drive coverage nationally in the food service sector, developing long-term relationships and supply into the NHS, universities and contract caterers. Investment into marketing has seen an increase of 1300% in sales over the last month from an already growing base. UNW assisted in the development of the proposal, advising and testing the projections so that KPI’s would be met and ensuring that subsequent tranches are made available as growth develops further.”

After our German parent company allowed us to engage auditors outside of the big 4, we moved to UNW after a short tender process. UNW took the time at partner level to understand our business and the transition was simple with no disruption, despite the short timescale. The audit team conducted the first-year-end in a professional manner and we were able to sign the annual financial statements several months faster than in previous years. The advice received from audit and tax has been excellent and timely. In addition, the fees are at a much more appropriate level than with the previous firm.

“As well as screening the latest film releases and hosting many events, we also offer free community space to local groups and run successful education projects and training schemes. The corporate finance team at UNW, who were instrumental in helping us to secure the funding, is incredibly passionate about the project we are undertaking, and we look forward to working with their incredibly varied service offering in the coming months and years.”
