Customer Story
How we supported the growth of a fencing contractor
- An increase in turnover of 2,285% to almost £2 million per annum
- Trading from their own premises – allowing for increased production by selling fencing supplies, not simply fitting them
- Bulk-buying – facilitating a change in client profile and optimisation of turnover
- Increased staff numbers – enabling further business expansion
- Our tax-planning advice resulted in tax savings of approximately £250,000 over a five-year period. The owner has subsequently invested in a property portfolio of five buy-to-let dwellings, providing financial security for the future of his family.
