I worked with Compliance Consultant for 2 years and was involved in a variety of projects for various firms, both start-ups and established. Lee was a pleasure to work with and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of compliance, this provided reassurance that client work was carried out to a high standard. The team at Compliance Consultant worked very closely and was always on hand to provide assistance or advice on specialist areas for eg FCA Authorisations or Audits.

First class service in every way. Whilst applying for FCA authorisation the original compliance company we were working with let us down. Feeling despondent, Lee from Compliance Consultant stepped in and assured us we would have our application submitted on time. Suzanna was our direct contact and she worked tirelessly to ensure we met our deadline. Not only did we meet our deadline, but our completed application was submitted to the FCA, 1 week ahead of schedule. Both Lee and Suzanna took the time to communicate clearly the detail within each section of the application. They went above and beyond and felt more like friends by the end of the process. I would highly recommend Compliance Consultant both in terms of professionalism and value for money. We look forward to working with Compliance Consultant in the future.

We approached Lee between Christmas & New Year about some compliance work we urgently needed completing for a newco setup. He communicated very clearly what we would need and why. Once instructed, he delivered this on time and cost effectively. Recommended.

We look forward to working with them in the future on our project. Thank you, Lee and Compliance Consultant team.

Every detail was analysed carefully and they delivered tailored, practical solutions that significantly reduced my workload and strengthened my position. I would 100% recommend to any seeking compliance advice.

Lee Werrell of Compliance Consultant has been exceptional at providing compliance support for my mortgage brokerage. His understanding of and wealth of experience with the regulatory body, The Financial Conduct Authority, is second to none and this translated into the advice and support offered to my business. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough for your compliance needs. I have used other compliance consultant firms previously and they do not compare even remotely to the level of expertise and service offered by Lee Werrell.
