Director First  Avis 

I’m the owner of a small business that’s sales are down about 90%, I’ve had to close most of it and was unsure as to wether or not I would have to liquidate it and was getting nervous about HMRC sending in the bailiffs, director first put my mind at rest by telling me exactly what the processes are and which way around I should do them, the way that would be least taxing for myself, can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and honest great advice, as soon as I put down the phone a smile has returned to my face and I will definitely have a better nights sleep tonight, my future now doesn’t look so doomed ! Thank you very much director first, highly recommended 🙂👌🏽

Speaking to Nadina Parker was a joy.
Explaining things in away that were clear.
If you are considering closing down your company Directors First should be your first phone call.

Working with this team during what was a very challenging financial time for my company was a revelation.’ ‘From day one, they put me completely at ease, simplifying every step and offering clear reassurance throughout the whole process. What stood out just as much as their professionalism was how likeable and easy they were to work with. I genuinely can’t thank them enough or recommend them highly enoug.

Chris Worden helped us through a truly horrible time. Before finding him, we were at the absolute lowest point of our lives. I was consumed by worry, unable to sleep at night, and honestly believed there was no one in this field available to assist or even care about the situation. Then, we found Chris Worden. What a absolute saviour he has been.

Anyone reading these reviews is most likely already in a state of panic. If you want to take a breath for the first time in months - call Directors First today! The moment you speak to them, you will no longer feel alone. They will answer all of your questions that have been keeping you awake at night. I cannot thank Chris and his team enough for their compassion and expertise. You will be given clear guidance and solutions you never thought you had. Professional and efficient yet it will feel like you've called on a dear old friend for help.
Thanks all! Truly could not have done this without you!

Had a good meeting with Chris Teal to discuss my business financial problems. I had read so much online about what steps could be taken by creditors and I wish I had just spoken to Chris first as it would have stopped all the worrying. Very impressed with his knowledge and understanding of the options available and he certainly helped me feel more comfortable with my situation. I would highly recommend if the financial stress in mounting in your business and you do not know which way to turn.

When you’re going through one of the most difficult periods in business, having the right people around you makes all the difference.

Before speaking to Chris, I knew very little about the administration process and what it actually involved.
Chris took the time to explain everything in plain English, talked me through each stage, and made sure I understood exactly what to expect.

What initially felt overwhelming quickly became much clearer, which gave me real confidence in the decisions we were making.

From the very first conversation through to completion, Chris and the team were fantastic. Chris was always at the end of the phone whenever I needed him, no matter how big or small the question. His advice, honesty and reassurance made an incredibly stressful process feel far more manageable, and I genuinely felt supported every step of the way.

The whole team kept me informed throughout, communicated brilliantly, and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to complete the sale of the business, protect jobs, and give the business a future.

I’m incredibly grateful to Chris and everyone involved for everything they did.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any business owner who finds themselves needing expert advice and support.

Company were very helpful and understanding . Gave clear guidence on what to do and you felt they were on your side at a difficult and emotional time

I spoke with Tom this morning regarding my son’s company and I can only say how pleased I made the call to Director First. From the very start Tom listened to my issues, he was empathetic, non judgemental and let me express the situation. Tom was understanding and gave sound advice regarding our position and follow up actions in a very calm manner. It was a breath of fresh air following the turmoil we are experiencing, this is a must use service for any business that’s experiencing financial difficulties, and I will certainly follow up on the advice given and there kind words for further consultation.
Once again Many Thanks Tom for your time and Understanding.

company gave good advise and is there ready if i need them again

If you are looking to liquidate your company; look no further than Director First. The team are friendly and always there to answer any questions you may have. Chris, Shaun and Nadina are amazing. Thank you everyone.

From being confused, uncertain and having many sleepless nights I am now confident I have a solution thanks to Shaun and the Director First team. I was unsure of how to proceed with debts and no work coming in and Shaun listened, reassured and provided an excellent range of options. This was all done with a real sense of caring about the person and the situation, i guess having heard and seen many times before. I cant recommend Director First enough and if you are struggling you should pick up the phone and contact them as will help you identify a way forward.

From the outset the conversation both Tom and Chris gave me the confidence to be open and honest of my situation
They were not judgemental in any way and with there professional approach guided me to look at a positive approach and solution

Expert understanding of my position and first class solutions that will resolve my problems without the stress associated with the HMRC people. Thank you

I honestly can’t recommend Shaun highly enough.

This is actually the second time I’ve contacted him about liquidating one of my businesses (I know… not my finest moment!) and he could quite easily have taken my money and gone ahead with the liquidation. Instead, he took the time to look at my situation properly and advised me that I could simply strike the company off instead, saving me thousands of pounds.

That level of honesty and integrity is so rare these days. It’s clear that Shaun genuinely wants the best outcome for his clients, not just to make a sale.

Over the years we’ve really got to know each other, and every phone call feels less like speaking to an adviser and more like catching up with a good friend. He’s approachable, patient, never makes you feel judged, and somehow has the incredible ability to make conversations about insolvency and liquidation feel relaxed, positive and even enjoyable!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by business problems and don’t know where to turn, speak to Shaun. He explains everything in plain English, gives honest advice, and genuinely cares about helping people make the right decision even if that means less business for him.

Thank you, Shaun, for always looking out for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Tom was extremely helpful and guided me through a difficult situation very well with a good outcome.

I cannot thank Chris W and the team at Direct First enough for everything they have done for me.

I was in a very dark place, struggling to keep my company going. I had tax bills, supplier invoices and outstanding loans piling up, and the pressure had become overwhelming.

From my very first phone call, Chris immediately put me at ease. For the first time in a long while, I actually managed to sleep that night. He is incredibly knowledgeable and, if there was ever a question he couldn't answer, he always knew someone who could.

With Chris's help and guidance, we put the company into administration and managed an extremely difficult situation. He was always at the end of the phone whenever I had a wobble or needed reassurance. He even called to check that we were okay while he was on his honeymoon, which says everything about the kind of person he is.

Chris is an absolute top bloke and genuinely cares about the people he helps. If you're in a dark place with your business and don't know where to turn, call this guy. He quite literally saved my life.

I could say so much more, but I don't want to make him blush! Thank you, Chris and everyone at Direct First.

Your recommendations regarding HMRC was invaluable

Really helpful advice

Chris helped me to understand my situation a lot more and gave me some really good advice on how to tackle my situation. I instantly felt a lot better about my situation after coming off the phone with him.
Thank you for your time and help!
