Director First  Reviews 762

A very knowledgeable friendly service , as well as being very professional and discrete about the information given to them , they made things a lot clearer and helped put my mind at ease, just through talking to them I felt a great amount of pressure had been lifted , Shaun and his team have been amazing every step of the way. If your not sure and need advise please don’t hesitate to contact them I wish I did it sooner

Nadina and the team had been totally professional and supportive. They had helped us out every step of the way and I don’t think we could have done it without them . Thank you so much for everything you have done for us . Totally recommend this company 👍👍👍 Anna M.

Very fast response by Chris today, Good listener and offered practical advice which has really helped me. Will recommend to anyone needing a bit of support
thanks very much

Directors first were helpful from the first contact. They introduced us to good people who got the job done, they were always available and their advice was always in our best interest, and they removed the myths and guesswork from what could have been a very difficult process. If you are struggling with a failing business these guys will certainly find the most appropriate solutions.

Guided us all the way through very stressful times. Always available to answer questions and help with anything that seemed too big to understand or deal with. Would highly recommend you give this guys a call they made what seemed impossible possible . Thank you

If the Dalai Lama handled director stress and Mother Teresa specialised in business rescue, you’d still call Chris Worden first. He brings clarity, calm, and straight-talking solutions when directors need them most. No jargon, no judgement, just expert guidance that genuinely sorts problems and quickly.

Quite simply: when your back’s against the wall, Chris is the person you want in the room.

Chris was great. He gave some really good advice.

Chris and his team were excellent from the beginning to the end and their advice was spot on. I fully recommend them and you can use them with total confidence. 5 Stars!

Genuine good advise, free advise. I found Directors First via a Youtube video, where a situation simular to ours was discussed. So we reached out to Direct First.

After two discussions; I wouldn't say they turned me away but certainly encouraged us to look at other solutions, such as trading out of the difficulties. Directors First could have simply encouraged us to close the business and pay their fee to do so; but they never.

We took their advise and spoke to HMRC and things are looking better.

It was refreshing to speak to another business who's sole aim was NOT to make money from you. Most other simular firms I have spoken to, just offer fees to close the business and never look if its correct.

If we cant fix this issue , we will 100% be revisiting Directors First. Make that call, we wish that we never left it so long.

Sean is the most patient and understanding man I've ever come across. He is always on the end of the phone regardless of how manybtimes you asknquestions and he really does put your mind at ease. I cant compliment him enough.

I recently spoke with Chris Warden and had a really great experience. I’d been feeling quite stressed about a debt I owed to HMRC, but Chris took the time to talk things through with me and offered really reassuring, practical advice. He helped me realise the amount wasn’t as serious as I’d built it up to be, and that I should be able to agree reasonable repayment terms with HMRC.

On the back of that conversation, I contacted HMRC and managed to get a repayment plan that’s long enough to make everything manageable. It was a huge weight off my shoulders. I’m genuinely grateful for Chris’s help and would happily recommend the company to others.

My company has some issues that are causing me some concern, HMRC, BBL , stress was starting to take its toll and i decided to contact Chris. A half hour chat and he has clarified things and given me some options that i can implement to make some progress going forward.
I already feel some relief , excellent service,

When I was first spoke with Chris I knew I had someone on my side that didn’t hide the ugly truth and told me how it was and what my options are. It might not have been what I wanted to hear but it made all the difference that he didn’t hold back anything and the steps I had to make. He was clear and concise and didn’t have any other agenda other than advising me, other people I had spoken with felt like they were selling something rather than just honest advice. I couldn’t recommend Director First enough.

Advices, guides and information are very clear and straight - forward. The operator is very helpful

They were lovely and super helpful. Shaun helped me understand what my options were and find a much easier solution.

I set up and ran my Company very successfully for 25 yrs, I made millions…3 new partners took over and crashed my firm in 18 months, my family was homeless, we were broke… I was broken
Then I found Chris at director first, he and his team were my lifeline…
When friends just can't be found,
They were like a bridge over troubled water…
I cannot recommend Chris and his team highly enough, they’re fantastic, really supportive, knowledgeable and human when we faced an inhuman situation. Chris Worden had my back, when the chips are down no one else comes close, highly recommend you call him

I would like to sincerely thank Shaun and the entire team at Director First for their support during my insolvency process. From the very first call, everything was explained clearly, without pressure or judgment, making a stressful situation much easier to manage. Their professionalism, honesty, and compassion truly stood out—they treated me with respect, communicated clearly, and made sure I understood every step. Their guidance turned what I expected to be a nightmare into something manageable. I am very grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

Excellent clear and concise advice given by Chris.
Well worth contacting for advice and has cleared up concerns and questions I had at a difficult time.
Many Thanks

Calmness during a very fraught time; efficiency, all calls were on time and communication direct and kind. Available time seemed endless - explanations succinct and helpful. I can't thank this company and it's employees enough for the time and effort spent helping us. There is no need for anyone to look further than this company for help.

It can be very stressful when dealing with a business been a one man band and chris and his team held my hand every step of the way , any question i had no matter how big or small he was there , massive thank you from me to him and his team , highly recommend
