Copper Technology
Chris Dilnot, owner of Yorkshire-based technical sales and marketing company for specialist copper products Copper Technology Ltd., has worked with Appletondale / Parsons since 2010. He says:
Our business is specialist, the way we operate is complex in financial terms, to manage our finances requires an understanding of an international trading landscape that is changing daily with metal prices and exchange rates. Parsons have that in-depth knowledge, the familiarity with how our business operates and all the associated regulations. We trust you with our sensitive information, we know that you have the skills to deal with complex financial matters, and we know that we are looked-after in terms of legal compliance and getting our employees paid on time. That trusting relationship is incredibly important to us, the team is approachable and flexible, so we can drop into the local office or schedule a call to speak with someone who knows our business inside and out.
We feel assured that someone is considering the long-term health of our finances beyond just the day-to-day and legal necessities and looking to flag opportunities that will save us money or help us to operate more efficiently. We trust Parsons to look at the bigger picture for us too, advising on both our business and personal finances. They have the in-house skills to support our succession plans for the business and help us to prepare for retirement by advising us on things like pensions and inheritance tax, for example. That means we won’t need to seek financial advice elsewhere.
