Our team has over 150 years’ experience in company secretarial support, and we’ve spent our careers working ‘at the coal face’ experiencing every stage of the corporate lifecycle first-hand.
For directors, remaining legally compliant is vital for your business to operate and to avoid penalties but it’s not always a good use of your time. For organisations without a company secretary, our experience means you can outsource the compliance and corporate administration to us and get on with running your business.
We provide on demand advice to support you to make the right decisions quickly. We don’t work with templates, we take the time to understand our client’s needs and challenges, and deliver solutions that are right for their stage of evolution, culture and future ambitions.
For Head of Secretariats, our expertise enables you to optimise your existing resources, raise the profile of your team, unlock process efficiencies and streamline your operations.
We believe it’s not about having more it’s about working differently. We know what it’s like to be Deputy/Group Company Secretary and appreciate that you will have your own style and ambitions for your team.
We work with you to train your team from Trainee to Deputy level, conduct performance and data audits and support you to run a highly efficient and effective secretariat.
