Ivan Houston, Director at the Firm says

 


“We love working with entrepreneurial businesses and dynamic businesspeople,
particularly those who are thinking more internationally. We have our roots as a family business - we were founded some 50 years ago by my colleague Karen’s father, so we have been around a long time and have a really solid reputation with our clients.”
