Tom is always responsive, compassionate and clear. He listens well and always makes sure he has understood what you have said and takes time to summarise what he has said/what he needs next to proceed further. He allay puts you at ease and never makes you feel under any pressure to proceed.

Great service from the team as always. I have used B&K for numerous reasons over the years and will continue to do so. There is no time wasting, or copious amounts of emails to trawl through. They simply get on with the job in hand and only contact me/us when absolutely required to do so.
