Chris is the real deal, which is hard to find in this trade, he is not out to grab your money, he gives excellent non biased advice and truly cares about your situation.
Give him try, you'll be glad you did.

I would advise anyone who has issues with their Ltd company and is anxious about how to best deal with them to contact Director First. I recently spoke to Chris Teal, what a breath of fresh air, friendly, easy to converse with, clear, straightforward, useful advice, complete empathy and no pushy salesmanship, put my mind at rest on a few matters and was a real pleasure to speak to. Chris fully understands how to make a difficult situation far less stressful. Highly recommended.
