Testimonials

In 2016, Huw and Ceris Roberts sold their popular family business Castle Pharmacy in Caernarfon to national chain Rowlands Pharmacy.

Huw bought the company with a business partner 16 years ago. His wife Ceris bought the previous partner’s shares in 2006 and from then on the husband and wife team ran the business together.

When they decided to move on from their pharmacy, the couple worked with Williams Denton to help them prepare the business for sale. Bangor-based director Colin Bell also guided the sale of Castle Pharmacy.

Former pharmacy owner Huw said: “Williams Denton were absolutely excellent throughout the entire process of selling our business.

"Colin Bell was totally faultless. Whenever we wanted advice, support or information, he was available straight away and was incredibly helpful.

He guided us on everything from making sure we were tax efficient through to general payroll advice. Colin was able to offer us everything we needed and if we had any questions he always had the answers.

When the bank or solicitors requested information during the sale, we simply referred them straight to Colin whose knowledge meant that everything was dealt with quickly and effectively.

Colin is always easy to talk to and very supportive, we just can’t thank him enough."

Huw & Ceris Roberts, Castle Pharmacy, Caernarfon

"We’ve been a client of Williams Denton since 2012. At the time we were looking for an accountant that specialised in GP practices and could provide local benchmarking data.

We have quarterly meetings with Janet Jones but we can telephone or email any time and know we will get a prompt response. It doesn’t matter what the question is, they are always approachable and happy to give advice.

We have grown to rely on Williams Denton as a trusted business advisor as well as an accountant. Whenever we are making business decisions about the practice, such as hiring new staff, we run this past Williams Denton and they always have good advice and suggestions. They have become a key part of the decision making process and it feels like having a business consultant without the added expense!

I have no hesitation in recommending Williams Denton and often do to other practice managers."

Iorwen Hickey, Cricceith Surgery

"We've been a client of Williams Denton for 18 months and chose them for their specific understanding and experience of working with dispensing practices. In fact, we were recommended to use Williams Denton by another dispensing practice.

The service we receive is excellent. The team at Williams Denton is both professional, approachable and always happy to give advice. I feel that I can call at any time and get help.

I would recommend Williams Denton and frequently do."

Jane Ford, Middle Lane Practice, Denbigh

"We've been clients of Williams Denton for 12 years. We became clients because the team seemed approachable and professional, and they have remained that way over the years we've been with them.

Having come from a banking background we have had some experience of dealing with accountants and cannot recommend Williams Denton highly enough. One of the benefits of having such a wide team of people at all levels at Williams Denton is that there is always someone there to help, whatever the question.

They keep on top of changes in legislation and are a mine of information but manage to still offer that old-fashioned level of customer service that can be sadly lacking in this day and age. We trust Williams Denton implicitly."

Steve Loughborough, Bryn Derwen B&B

"One of many good things about Williams Denton is that there is always someone available. We don’t have to make an appointment to get a question answered, we can call for advice at any time. They are very helpful, approachable and professional.

In business there are good times and tougher times but Williams Denton always remain positive and have good suggestions about how to get things back on track.

Over the years they have come to feel not just an extension of the business but an extension of the family."

"Williams Denton have straightened out my records since taking over the regular book keeping. I now receive accurate and timely Management Accounts on a monthly basis. Their more than reasonable costs are far out-weighed by the removal of the stress of the day to day book keeping. It is so nice to be able to trust your accountant and know the information they provide is accurate. I can now focus on my business knowing everything is being looked after by Martin and his team."

"I have a great business relationship with my accountant. I've known Martin Barrett for over 12 years. He's grown with my business and helped me turn it from a £1/4M to £10M turnover. He's always willing to chat to me and let me bounce ideas off him. They've looked after my accounts, set-up our sage software, done the wages for 150 staff and eventually helped me negotiate the sale of the business. This has all been done with utmost professionalism and I have to say at a reasonable cost."

David Miller

Jackie Blackwell, Chief Executive, Ynys Mon Citizens Advice Bureau

"Having been a client of Colin's for many years, I was pleased when he agreed to contribute to Menter Môn/FS4B's seminars for pre-start businesses. Colin's input has been invaluable and an enormous help to new business owners initially daunted by the concept of keeping accounts and using an accountant. He quickly dispels oft held preconceptions of accountants and makes a difficult subject seem straightforward: engendering confidence in clients that they are listening to an expert."
