“We’ve engaged the service from Simmons Gainsford for many years now and have found the team to go above and beyond to support us and our business objectives. Especially throughout our recent transition to an Employee Ownership Trust, they have been on hand to guide us through the complex process. We wouldn’t have been able to start this new chapter of our business without them.”

Jon Noble, Chairman
RG Group

“Simmons Gainsford have been our accountants since the company was formed in 1989. During this period, they have seen us grow from a small company to one that has a turnover in excess of £200m. They were heavily involved in a management buyout and subsequent change of ownership from a joint venture between a partnership and a PLC to a privately owned company. Simmons Gainsford have always been by our side throughout this 30-year period and the partners have been an integral part of many key decisions the company has made. We have a great relationship with the partners, they not only look after the companies’ accounts but also all our individual financial matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone, I really do feel we have the best.”
