“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.”

“UNW has been our auditor for the past five years or so and have been key in everything we’ve achieved during this time. Importantly, it is also a partner of NGI, so it’s important to acknowledge the support we receive there, too.

We’ve also further advice on a key number of other areas, most importantly around bidding for and securing the World Transplant Games, as well as valuable advice around VAT treatment and charitable status.

The Let’s Grow Fund, which was run by UNW in partnership with The Journal and BE Group, was also a great help for the inward investment team at NGI, working collaboratively as part of Invest Newcastle to secure grants for companies looking to invest in the region.”

The UNW Dental team has been a huge help with our recent incorporation and negotiating with the area team locally. They’ve also been a really big help with some of the superannuation issues that we’ve had. They’ve been a great asset to the practice.
