"Ted Key & Son Ltd has used Smailes Goldie as our accountants for over 20 years and have a fantastic relationship with the firm. Whenever we have a query or issue, a quick phone call for advice is usually all that is needed. Ian Lamb or Brian Elvidge take care of everything for us. For a company like ours it is very important that we have an accountant who we can trust, who we have an on-going relationship with and knows our business inside-out. Smailes Goldie are just that."

"My company has evolved and grown greatly over time and as it enters its 25th year the business and personal planning and acquisition work carried out for me, my family and the company by Smailes Goldie continues to impress me. I can wholeheartedly recommend that a business would benefit from using the services provided by Martin Overfield and his team, whether that business was a new start up or a more mature and expanding business."

- John Moore – Managing Director of John Moore Security Limited

"The UK directors and German owners have relied upon Smailes' sound compliance services and Martin Overfield's excellent, balanced advice since the original UK branch was converted to a Limited Company in the mid 1990s. As a younger business the company also received a great benefit from using the services of Sigma Solutions to monitor its progress until it could take on its own, in-house resource."

- John Porter – F A Porter & Sons

"Smailes Goldie have been our accountants for a period of only three years, but it was a critical move that has paid dividends.

Since moving our business to Nicki Shipley at Smailes Goldie, we have gone through a year on year, constant program of growth that required strong financial controls. During this time we have invested over £1M in an increase of production facilities and Smailes Goldie were instrumental in helping to develop the business plan and presentation to the bank. A Commercial Director at the bank commented that it was one of the best business plans he had seen in a long time. "
