Highly recommended -

5

Jon was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

He always explained things to me in a clear and concise way, and was always more than happy to answer any questions or queries I had.

I was never left in doubt as to what was going on or what the next steps should be.

I feel I would have really struggled to resolve the matter at all, let alone favourably, without Jon's assistance.

I would highly recommend Jon, and if I do need any advice in the future, he will be the first person I will contact.

Incredibly helpful and fast support

5

I was made redundant on maternity leave, whilst also moving house with a baby to think of. Jon helped me incredibly quickly, he was really clear and helpful, a pleasure to work with. It was a relief to get it off my mind and off my plate so quickly. He was understanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again if I ever had to. Thank you.
