What our clients say

Nicki Hutchinson has worked with me for over 10 years. I have great confidence in Nicki, and the excellent advice she provides. This advice is delivered in plain English with precision and clarity. Nicki is always available and completes tasks within deadlines. Nicki is also always willing to help.

I followed Nicki (metaphorically) when she changed firms and I am pleased whole-heartedly to recommend Nicki.

William Dartmouth

Changing accountants is always a major decision and one not to be taken lightly.  When our accountant announced his retirement in 2013 we were forced to make a move.  As a Rural Estate, we were very keen to engage a firm who had both an understanding of and an interest in Agriculture.  Peter Molyneux and his team came very highly recommended by our agricultural bank manager at the time.  On the initial meeting with Peter, Keith and Andrew, we felt instantly at ease with them.  Nostell Estate comprises of 3 farms along with residential and commercial lettings and on a day to day basis we deal predominately with Peter Molyneux or Keith Johnston.  As our trust and respect has grown for Peter and Keith, they have become increasingly more involved with major projects, succession planning and general business advice.  I now consider them an integral part of my team at Nostell Estate and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
