Testimonials

When dealing with insolvency matters time can be of the essence.  Our clients recognise our efforts and a client recently commented “the team at BRI have been taking the swiftest approach for which I am grateful.”

BRI staff all appreciate the importance when handling a situation to provide clear guidance and decisive action when it mattered most. By the team delivering timely solutions and minimising unnecessary stress, this will lead to a significant difference when attempting to produce positive outcomes for the client.

Recent feedback received from a client who was pleased with the way we handled the solvent liquidation of her late husband’s company:

“Your efficiency throughout the process has been amazing!”

Efficiency was a defining factor in a client’s recent experience of working with the BRI team.

At BRI we recognise the importance of providing clients with an efficient process from the very outset, making each phase clear and easy to understand especially when it’s not possible to reduce legal jargon within the statutory documentation.  The efficiency of our communication and execution kept everything moving without delays, while maintaining a high level of quality in the steps up to liquidation.  This consistent efficiency not only saved time but made the entire liquidation experience seamless and stress-free for the client.

A thank you for our “help” and “professionalism” in collection of an overdrawn directors’ loan account from two directors.

We were appointed liquidators of an insolvent company where there was an overdrawn directors’ loan account owing from the directors.

The two directors, being husband and wife, were informed from the outset of our initial meetings that if the company enters into a creditors’ voluntary liquidation (CVL) we will pursue the amount due as liquidators. The reason for notifying them from the very start is so that they are fully aware of the position and there are no surprises; transparency is so valuable when advising directors of insolvent companies.

Once the company entered CVL, repayment of the monies owed were discussed and the directors’ own personal financial information was received to determine their affordability. Accordingly, an agreement was made and a repayment plan was implemented, covering a 12 month period.

“Thank you so much to you and your staff for all your help, advice and professionalism with the liquidation… It was very much appreciated”

The above was received in an email from the directors once the payment plan had concluded. It really does show that whilst a situation like this can be uncomfortable, distressing and difficult for directors, the human approach and working with the directors to repay the sums owed goes a long way in trying to minimise the difficulties with it.

Also, not only are the directors happy with our approach in collecting the overdrawn loan account, but also funds are now available for creditors of the company. Win:win all round.

We are fortunate to receive feedback from clients about the standard of communication we provide. Here, a client commented “If only others were as professional as you” and they expressed the level of service delivered by our staff far surpasses their expectations.

At BRI, we aim to ensure transparency at each stage of the process. We strive to take the time to explain each stage clearly and in order to reduce stress that clients may naturally feel when placing their trust in us.

It is this blend of practical guidance and genuine empathy that we believe sets us apart. Hearing that our clients feel supported, understood and well advised is the highest compliment we can receive and it reinforces our commitment to delivering a service that is both professional and personal.

“After speaking with you, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. For the first time in six months, I was finally able to sleep properly again.”

At BRI, we understand that financial difficulties don’t just impact your bank balance – they affect your wellbeing, confidence and mental health. Our approach to insolvency advice is centred on compassion, clarity and genuine support. We take the time to listen, understand the pressures you’re facing, and guide you through every option with empathy. By combining technical expertise with a compassionate, client-centred approach, we help clients regain control, reduce stress and move toward a future where peace of mind, and restful sleep, become possible again.

“I’ve known John for over 3 years, and my firm regularly refers clients to him for both solvent and insolvent liquidations. The feedback is always the same: he’s knowledgeable, approachable, and a huge help to clients during challenging times.”

Often we speak to potential clients that are in the fortunate position that they need a solvent liquidation to take their money out tax efficiently and/or formally wind down their business once they have sold/completed the trade of their business. At the other end of the spectrum we deal with those that cannot trade on due to insolvency, often running out of cash. In both situations we deal professionally and honestly with potential clients to see what options they have and whether there is an alternative, better option, than a formal insolvency procedure.  Sometimes these options will involve using BRI Business Recovery and Insolvency and sometimes they won’t.  We are always looking for the best outcome for the client, not the best outcome for BRI.  Please do reach out if you are unsure of your options, it doesn’t mean you have to instruct us.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with BRI during an incredibly challenging time, as I explored the possibility of entering my company into Creditor Voluntary Liquidation.

The situation was complicated due to the involvement of another director with whom my relationship had broken down, making the process anything but straightforward. From our first conversation, the team at BRI demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues at hand and were excellent at clearly explaining the different options available to me.

What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They engaged with other parties to try and reach a fair and amicable solution, and provided regular updates with myself and my accountant. They made sure I understood exactly what was happening at each stage and were always available to offer advice and reassurance.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the services of BRI to anyone in a similar position.”
