Begbies Traynor Group is a very genuine company. Mike Sharp really helped me understand the problem and provided the right solution. I had spoken to a few other companies about the liquidation of my company, but none of them seemed reasonable. Therefore, I strongly recommend Begbies Traynor Group.

Excellent relationships make better outcomes

I’ve supported the Begbies Traynor communications team for 16 years and deal with the same long-serving team who brief me in detail so I’m able to provide a good service… when a business relationship is with friendly, proactive people who value your work, things always go well.

The very best customer support when needed the most.

To the Team at Begbies Traynor.

Just a quick e-mail, with Sian copied in as promised whilst you’re on leave.

Sian, I don’t think we’ve spoken before, but I must take the opportunity to feedback on how professional and credible Benjamin has been throughout this entire process.

He is a credit to the business, and I hope he has a prosperous future with you guys. Especially at his tender age (yes I am feeling old!).

I must be the most frustrating client in a long time, I’m sure. Whilst we have turned the corner and looking forward again as a family, and business wise, I admit it has taken twice as long as I initially thought to get some cash coming in again and get our lives back on track.

Without your patience, via Benjamin, we wouldn’t have been able to get to this imminent point.

So, my wife and I both offer our heartfelt thanks to Begbies Traynor Group, yourself, Benjamin, and BT Group itself. We have been honest and communicated throughout, but I don’t believe a lot of other companies would have listened, understood, applied common sense, and given us time to get back on track.
Emotional intelligence is sadly a skill most companies lack from my recent experiences. Suffice to say you will always be spoken of fondly and highly recommended in the future whenever we get the opportunity.

Thank you both again for your ongoing help and support.

Begbies (Bath, Bristol and the South West)

Paul Wood, Neil Vinnicombe and Simon Haskew are excellent advisors to companies, individuals, boards, owners, creditors and other business stakeholders, each having a huge wealth of professional experience to draw upon.

They are understanding, commercial, professional and personable and often find innovative (solvent) solutions to problems and/or ways to mitigate losses, as well as recovering substantial amounts for creditors.

When facing financial difficulties yourself or prejudiced by the financial difficulties of others, my colleagues and I would highly recommend all of these excellent insolvency practitioners.

I have worked with them over a number of years, not just on a one off basis.

Great professional relationship

We, at DM Hall, have had a professional relationship with Begbies Traynor for a number of years now, providing valuation advice alongside agency work in the commercial property world. Its a great relationship that benefits both parties obtain the best results for all involved. Kindly, Begbies invited us to be guests of theirs in the annual Fife Chamber of Commerce golf day. This was valuable to network with like minded individuals and meet other industries that can potentially work together in the future.

Excellent Experience with Begbies Traynor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Begbies Traynor for assistance with liquidating my company, and I must say, the experience was exceptional.
From the moment I reached out, Dave and the entire team at Begbies Traynor were incredibly helpful and understanding. They recognised that this was a stressful time for me and went above and beyond to walk me through the process step-by-step.

The Begbies Traynor team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and deep expertise throughout our engagement. They were able to provide clear guidance and support, ensuring that the liquidation process was as smooth and seamless as possible.

I was particularly impressed by the team's responsiveness and their ability to address all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. They took the time to understand the unique circumstances of my situation and tailored their approach accordingly.

If you find yourself in a position where you need advice and assistance with liquidating your company, I would highly recommend reaching out to Begbies Traynor. The team's knowledge, dedication, and commitment to providing exceptional customer service make them a trusted partner in navigating this challenging process.

Overall, my experience with Begbies Traynor was excellent, and I am grateful for the support and guidance they provided during this difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone in need of similar assistance.

In December 2025 as part of a 2 man crew I will be taking part in the Worlds Toughest Row - Atlantic. This involves rowing 3000 miles from La Gomera ( Canary Islands) to Antigua. We are raising money for two Charities Maggie's and Friends of Alfie Martin. To complete an expedition of this nature we need corporate sponsorship. Begbies Traynor have stepped up and have joined our team as Headline Sponsor. Their support at this early stage has been invaluable and we are looking forward to working together over the course of our journey. Big thanks to Julian Pitts Regional Managing Partner.

Grateful for Mike's Expertise: A Life-Changing Experience with Begbies-Traynor

I'm really thankful to Mike for helping me close my company. I was receiving numerous letters from HMRC and creditors about tax and VAT that I couldn't handle. I couldn't even sleep at night until I found the Begbies-Traynor website. I was unsure and embarrassed to talk about my financial problems, but I called them anyway.

From the start, Mike made me feel less worried. He explained my options in a way I could understand, which helped me a lot when everything was confusing. Even though I didn't have much money, Begbies-Traynor allowed me to repay them in a way I could afford. I couldn’t even use their services if that wasn’t the case and they understood that.

With Mike's expertise and the team's hard work, everything went smoothly. On the same day, I was able to stop paying my debts and the people I owed money to stopped bothering me with horrible letters. Mike's help saved me from losing all my money and allowed me to feel calm again so I could move on.

I would recommend anyone who has the same problems to use Mike's services. He is intelligent, professional, caring, and understanding. I hope I don't encounter these problems again, but if my family or friends do, I would tell them to call Mike. Thanks to him, I don't owe anyone money now and I can start fresh with more confidence and security.

Are BT manipulating their Trustpilot rating?

At this point in time BT's ratings are either 1 star or 5 star. Nothing in between!
It's funny how BT's customers give them 1 star and organisations that BT sponsor, train or work with give them 5 stars.
I'm dealing with BT as an investor in FRE PLC and they have been awful. They have approached that piece of work from the 'maximising profit' angle, with little regard for the FRE investors. Communication with investors in FRE has been, at best poor, and largely non-existent.
Call me cynical, but it appears that given the number of dismal 1 star reviews they have received, BT has found it necessary to rally colleagues in other firms and allied companies to give them glowing reviews.
I look forward to BT's response!

Thanks Elizabeth, Great

I had to put my company into Liquidation, a VERY stressful time for me. Never done this before, I contacted UK Liqudators. I got a great service from them. I dealt with Elizabeth Gatehouse, she was BRILLIANT, put my mind at rest, answered all my questions, can’t say enough about her, nothing was to much trouble. If you are ever in my position phone Elizabeth, make sure she deals with you. Thanks Elizabeth for everything. First class service. You are a real asset to the company.

DISAPPOINTED

BT told me they were here to represent my case and achieve the best possible outcome. Still, from that moment in late 2023 to hearing nothing about progress towards fulfilling that outcome, I have come to mistrust BT's intentions for this small group of honest investors. It's such a disappointment!

The arrogance in their communication style and the excessive fees applied for mere update requests have made me realise how one can become so focused on one's success that one needs to remember whose funds have and continue to help push their brand forward.
