Client

“During the last 12 months I have been greatly impressed by the work done by Sarah Wheadon and Louise Thompson. I am sure they are juggling many clients, however given the attention I receive, I always feel like I am their only client. They have given me clear, well timed advice on several separate but connected areas of legislation and practical help also. They have helped us to project a more knowledgeable, assured & professional face when dealing with the subsequent customer interactions.”
