Testimonials

“Bates Weston have been worth their weight in gold during the Covid 19 Pandemic, they have led us through the Furlough Scheme perfectly, they registered us onto the scheme and have sorted out everything for us to receive our payments from the HMRC promptly and with no fuss at all, that is the best thing with using Bates Weston, they are there to help in every eventuality and have expert advice to guide you through any situation.”

“Bates Weston (Wayne Thomas) was introduced to me over 10 years ago. I wondered how a start up like ours, based in Surrey, would manage particularly well with an accounting firm based in Derby. But they had come highly recommended. However, it is a decision I have never regretted. The whole Bates Weston team are excellent to deal with, timely in their responses and always supportive in dealing with new issues. I would certainly recommend them to anyone seeking advice and support in their Corporate affairs.”

“I wanted to express my gratitude towards Bates Weston and the staff for their continued support, especially over the last year (2020). They are a delightful company to deal with and a joy to speak to whenever I call them. A client for over 55 years, I am 100% happy with their service and would wholeheartedly recommend them.”

“We are very happy with the service we get from Bates Weston. We moved to them from another firm because we felt that we were not getting a personal service and were not valued as a client. At Bates Weston we get the best of both worlds – a professional accountancy and audit service with a good knowledge of the Charity sector and also a personal approach where I can ring up and talk to someone if I have a query.

They always have time for us.  I would be very happy to recommend them to other organisations.”

“I have and will continue to recommend the team at Bates Weston who look after my business & personal affairs. The team respond quickly to my queries and provide full and balanced responses. The team’s response has continued unabated during Covid, providing relevant market information and continuing to provide an unbroken service, which I know will have been challenging for them personally. Thank you.”

“Having used Bates Weston for a number of years, I can honestly say they have impressed me with their professional and up-to-date approach. Always prompt with any response and most recently through pro-active communication during the Covid-19 outbreak. Bates Weston colleagues are working any way they can in order to put the client first. This fills me with confidence and I would happily recommend their services.”

“As a business, we have been clients of Bates Weston for over 30 years. It has always felt that you are working with us rather than for us. You never fail to respond promptly, appropriately and professionally to our needs, making us feel like an individual instead of just another client. You correctly anticipated the turmoil that Covid-19 was about to unleash and positioned your business and key staff to enable you to continue to provide expert advice and normal service regardless and this has not gone unrecognised.”

“It’s good to be brief sometimes! The service from Bates Weston during the lockdown has been excellent, as always.”

“Bates Weston have been an invaluable part of our team. They help us to keep a firm grip on our financial position and give us insight and guidance on our longer-term plans. They are always there to help us, and never more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic. They helped us make sense of and access the business support packages available, including the Bounce Back Loan Scheme, helping us to manage cashflow and taking us through the furloughing process. They make a real difference to our business and we have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“As an SME, Marketing Derby needs security and reassurance in all matters financial. We find the service provided by Bates Weston prompt, efficient, accurate and best of all, the friendly team speak human!”
