“Henry has recently assisted me on a number of contentious insolvency appointments and has provided a first class service. I find Henry to be thorough yet commercial, easy to get hold of, and always willing to go the extra mile to get the right result. He has a good blend of technical expertise and commercial awareness and is clearly very experienced in acting for liquidators seeking to recover funds for the benefit of creditors. I would be happy to recommend Henry’s services to anyone.”
