What we do

As part of the process of divestment from non-core activities Gentoo engaged UNW as advisers in early 2015. We have worked closely with them on three transactions and have been impressed with their insight, professionalism and dedication. The team were hands on and quickly got to know the businesses and the key drivers behind the transactions, this approach proved to be invaluable as the transactions have progressed.

“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.”

“UNW are proactive in working alongside the S and B team to not only prepare and submit our R&D claims, but also increase our understanding of the areas of our business and resulting expenditure which are qualifying projects. The resulting cash repayments not only assist cashflow but increase our focus on being innovative and keeping ahead of our competition.”
