Here are the thoughts of a gentleman that did choose us.

"As CEO of Eastbourne & District Mencap Limited it is vital that we maintain a strong partnership with our Accountants. In all my dealings with Nick Brown of Plummer Parsons, I have found him to be very responsive and proactive, as well as providing good, sound, measured advice.

Nick was particularly helpful when we switched our trading to a “Company Limited by Guarantee”. He has always been extremely pleasant and courteous to all our staff.

I particularly like the charity seminars that are held on a regular basis that enable us to deal with important legislative changes."
