“BDO were a pleasure to work with.  They were very straightforward and transparent in their approach, in particular maintaining flexibility and open communication with the Management team to manage the evolving requirements of the PTP process.  Having got up to speed with our business quickly, they produced a focussed and insightful report for the funding bank.  Their support was greatly appreciated throughout our transaction and we would not hesitate to recommend them.”
