MYLES BIGLAND
Obsidian Training , a training company for legal executives, asked Nigel to provide long term strategic advice for our business and to up-skill the director in ways to analyse and explain the business in language that made sense of raw financial data. To say the least, Nigel delivered in spades what was needed.
As a business that was only established in the last three years, we have faced challenging issues associated with establishing a foothold in our intended market. Nigel’s work with us has proved useful in planning for the future and when difficult problems surfaced, that threatened the future viability of the business, Nigel was assiduous in giving a far-sighted perspective on how to neutralise and turn those threats around.
I can certainly recommend Nigel’s time and experience to future clients and look forward to working with him in the coming years

NESTA engaged Nigel Wright of NWCF to carry out financial due diligence on the balance sheets of a potential investment. The work, in what was a messy complicated situation, was carried out promptly, professionally and with great clarity. NESTA were kept abreast of the financial and broader issues as they arose and this clear good communication enabled problems to be resolved quickly, resulting in a rapid completion of the investment process. The specific work and broader observations were to a high standard and I recommend Nigel Wright and NWCF as being very professional and balanced in carrying out such corporate finance work.

Nigel has carried out a wide range of corporate finance/finance director engagements for me over a number of years.
The scope of these engagements covered forensic investigations, due diligence on investment proposals, business plan writing, formulating deal structures, managing the investment process, taking a company off AIM, acting as a finance director, and a number of ad hoc items.
His work has been extremely thorough, enhanced by taking a strategic view and letting the numbers follow on from the commercial reality.
His forward looking/strategic approach is refreshingly different from that of many accountants and given his background in SMEs I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a corporate finance adviser or finance director in SMEs.

RICHARD MATTISON
Nigel undertook due diligence for an investor in our company. From the questions asked I could see that the due diligence was extensive and insightful, and was focussed on the core commercial/strategic issues. This work formed the backbone of the due diligence which enabled Nigel to make credible comments about the financial projections and our business. Nigel got to grips with the essence of our business at the strategic and detailed financial level, and apart from being important for his due diligence work,it caused us to think deeply about our strategy. His thinking and insights which he shared with us were most perceptive and very valuable. Excellent work.
