As is often the case, the most valuable business relationships are generated by word of mouth. Working as a Director of the Southern Electric Traction Group C.I.C in London, Bicknell Business Advisers Limited were recommended to me by a … More fellow business owner. I am truly grateful for that recommendation. I can honestly say that the guidance and support we have received from the team have been instrumental to our work and we would be in a considerably lesser position without them.
I haven't the words to fully express Bicknell's input, but perhaps the phrase "no question goes unanswered, no effort is spared" best sums up their approach to client support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steve and his colleagues in any advisory capacity and am delighted that we have found such a professional, efficient and courteous company with which to do business.
