"The team at Sparkes Walker have been an integral part of our company, Central Forklift Group, since it's inception in 1996. In fact, Lesley Walker was part of the planning to set the company up even before it started.

We found that the people at Sparkes Walker gave us the same dedication and attention when we were a struggling business with a few people starting out as they do now as a large complex company.

Accountancy firms are often seen as boring but this is definitely not the case with Lesley and her team - they are always friendly and all contact is a pleasure.

Throughout the highs and lows over the years the Sparkes Walker team have methodically collated and prepared our financial information, liased with our bank and financiers, paid our wages and communicated with IRD. All of this has been done on time and delivered in a professional manner.

In addition to accountancy services, Sparkes Walker has been involved in accessing many business opportunities. They have a fantastic depth of knowledge around doing business locally and give sound advice.

We have no doubt that Sparkes Walker have made a huge contribution to our success as a business and would recommend them without hesitation."

Lesley’s team at Sparkes Walker Ltd are all highly professional, approachable, friendly and able to clearly explain our financial accounts and responsibilities as a small business. They have always provided us with excellent service and support. We are more than happy to recommend Sparkes Walker Chartered Accountants Ltd to other businesses."
