“The four years running up to the tribunal were extremely stressful for Tyne Valley, and it is a real shame that honest and hard-working businesses such as ours can be subject to such a long, drawn-out process. The costs would have severely limited our growth aspirations. Thankfully, common sense prevailed in the end, and I can’t thank the VAT team at UNW enough for their meticulous and dedicated approach to the tribunal. They were extremely supportive throughout the process, and I would recommend them to anyone else that found themselves in a similar position to ours.”

We engaged the Strategic Talent team at UNW to identify an experienced Non-Executive Director who could help us implement a formal board structure and discipline as well as provide independent, objective oversight and support the development of our senior team. Having taken the time to truly understand our business and the dynamics of the key stakeholders, the team swiftly gave us a high-quality shortlist of candidates from which we were able to make a successful appointment to our board.

Here at Durham Cathedral we are undertaking a major capital project and the advice from UNW’s VAT, tax and charity sector specialists has been invaluable and critical to the success of the project to date. I would recommend UNW to anyone needing proactive, commercial and friendly financial advice. Their team is first rate.
