Director First  Avis 

Great information & knowledge from Tom & helping me move in the right direction & the contacts he has put me onto,would highly recommend the company with down to earth attitude & understanding,Thank you,Richard

Look no further than Director First.
When I first started looking for advice, I approached several companies. However, Director First was the only one that was genuinely honest and straightforward in helping me understand both the advantages and the potential pitfalls of the process.
Many of the other companies seemed more interested in charging for their services, with little reassurance about the support available if things became complicated. Director First was completely different.
Chris Wotton, in particular, is highly personable, professional and explains the available options with great clarity. From the outset, I always knew exactly where I stood and felt confident that I was receiving impartial and trustworthy advice.
I cannot recommend Director First highly enough.

So much more than I expected. Great advice, friendly delivery and action-focused solutions. Shaun was so reassuring and helpful, and in less than an hour, we had a way forward.

Shaun even sent me a WhatsApp so I can pop in for advice while I work through it. I wish I could give more than five stars. Thank You!

Chris made everything clear and straight forward , it really put my mind at rest, the advice he gave was first class.

Amazing, real people not robots great knowledge just first class service would recommend to any director/company, A* ….

Chris provided an amazing turnaround from initial query to jumping on the phone. He listened, observed and took a vast amount of information in and the action and priorities were clear. He was straightforward and practical and immediately put us in contact with a super helpful chap, who had great knowledge of how to negotiate through a tricky patch.

Wow. Fully expecting “we can’t help you” and although this was true, I did not expect a 25 min phone call FREE and offer me some great advice, tailored to where I’m going in business. Absolutely marvellous Chris and thank you very much. You have restored my faith in genuine strangers taking a little time out to help. Thank you

Rang for some advise on a credit card company and bounce back loans . Chris advisor spoke to was so helpfull and had all the knowledge . Excellent company .

After the call to Chris I am more positive about moving forward, he was a great guy giving us the information we needed, I recommend this company

I can’t thank DF enough! It’s a daunting prospect when HMRC come to your door & they bombard you with threats
Director first was my shield & my friend in the face of the HMRC battering
Great advice and down to earth
Can’t recommend them enough

Chris Worden Went above and Beyond for me and was a huge support through a difficult time ... i would not have made it through a process that hard without his support ... Brilliant Guy ... and recomended ,, 100% ...

Chris explained everything very clearly. Thank you for your advice.

Shaun Worden and the rest of the team at Director First were all very accommodating and knowledgeable and were always available to advise and help. Thanks

Chris & Nadina took the pressure off us whilst we tried to navigate the Liquidation. They were professional & knowledgable and guided us through the process from start to finish. I would, without hesitation recommend Director First to anyone looking to start the Liquidation process.

As someone who has spent over 25 years building businesses and dedicating my life to pioneering an industry that never existed before, I had never faced what I perceived as a public failure. Making the decision to undertake a controlled wind down was an arduous journey spanning two and a half years, and it was one of the most distressing and complex chapters of my career. When I reached out to Chris Worden and his team at Directors First, I received far more than exceptional expertise and insight. I received peership, stewardship, genuine care, and a partnership that became a lifeline. Chris and his team were realistic, frank, transparent, and firm, helping me navigate not only the legal and financial complexities but also the emotional weight that comes with making such a profound decision as a business leader. They helped me understand that this process is not about shame but about making the right decisions at the right time, and they stood beside me every step of the way.
Whether you are a seasoned CEO leading a global enterprise, a founder steering a growing company through turbulent times, or a mum running a small business from your kitchen table, please know this: you are not alone, and you do not have to walk this path without support. Behind every business are real people making incredibly difficult decisions, and those people deserve guidance that is not only expert but also human. Directors First gave me both, and I would wholeheartedly recommend that anyone facing the prospect of a wind down, negotiating with HMRC, or navigating the pressures of today's economic landscape does not attempt to do so without consulting Chris Worden and his remarkable team. They were, quite simply, the difference between feeling lost and feeling led.

I can't thank Chris enough for the brief but crucial conversation we had regarding my company. He enabled me to take a very important decision very simply, with the best possible outcome. This was a free phone consultation, so I am doubly grateful. Director First didn't *have* to volunteer their time but I am very glad they did.

Thanks so much!

Chris was a great help. Honestly, he gave me a sense of direction in how to tackle my difficult situation. Definitely recommend

Even though I didn't end up instructing them, Director First responded quickly and professionally to my enquiry, and gave good advice. I'd certainly recommend them to anyone looking to close their company.

Chris and the team at Directors First have been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

What should have been a very stressful experience was made genuinely manageable, and I honestly don’t think we could have navigated it without them. From day one, they guided us step by step, gave clear and practical advice, and were always on hand to answer any questions we had.

Chris took the time to explain everything properly, made sure we understood our options, and ultimately handled the liquidation process smoothly and professionally. The whole experience felt far more straightforward than we expected, which is a real credit to them.

I’d highly recommend Chris and the team to anyone going through a similar situation.
