Testimonials

Thanks Rob.

It has been stressful, particularly this week, but I couldn’t have got through the due diligence stage without your help.  Thank you for walking me through it so patiently!

Thank you to you and all your team for guiding us through the whole process, I must say I never anticipated the stress in the last 2 months of getting to this point.

I am absolutely grateful for all your assistance and input all done with the absolute integrity.

I wish you all well for the future and look forward to speaking with you in due course over the next couple of months.

Just wanted to pass on one last thanks for the support and help provided.

Both John and I have been very impressed with the service Rob and Guvvy have provided and its greatly appreciated!

 

Rob Watson – I also take this opportunity to record my sincere thanks for the tremendous efforts you made personally to get this deal finalised and also to thank your colleagues who assisted you in the process. We were especially impressed with how you kept us continually informed throughout, often well outside “normal” office hours.

Hi Rob

Thank you for all your help and guidance with this , all unfamiliar territory with us but greatly appreciated

Mackrell.Solicitors have handled the transaction on our behalf. I would wish to put on record that they handled the whole transaction in a very professional manner. Guvvy Sandhu and Robert Watson have been exceptional. The whole process was seamless and what was an extremely difficult situation with the buyers solicitors, both Guvvy and Robert helped to smooth the transition to the very end.

On behalf of my Co Director and myself I would have no hesitation in recommending them in a professional capacity and wish to thank them both for all their help, support and advise in a very difficult process.

Guvvy, Rob

I would just like to say a big thank you for the effort that you put in on our deal and also the quick turnaround.  As you’re aware this is life changing for us and means that we can live life feeling a little more secure for us and our family.

Thank you and your team again for me.

I won’t hesitate to recommend you moving forward.

Guvvy Sandhu was recommended to me for the sale of my business. From the first phone call I knew I  had made the right choice. Guvvy is very knowledgeable, well spoken and so professional. Backed up by Rob’s excellent knowledge and communication skills.  Rob was a very calming influence during the whole due diligence process. When I needed clarification or further understanding of the legal terms, Guvvy was there to explain and guide me.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Guvvy and his team.

Hi Rob,

Corporate – I have just completed the sale of my business through Mackrell. Solicitors with Guvvy, Rob and the team.  While I know my business inside out I know nothing of the legal side involved in what it takes to sell a business, Guvvy has been patient and understanding in ensuring I fully understand all aspects of the deal.  The team have been extremely responsive and we have completed the sale in a very short time.  I have utter trust and confidence that my best interests have been served at every point and would not hesitate to recommend 100%.
