What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from directors who've worked with us

Director to Director

"I'm not just an advisor.
I've been exactly where you are."

Ten years ago, I went through company insolvency myself. I know the sleepless nights, the fear of brown envelopes from creditors and HMRC, and the feeling that you have failed everyone as a company director facing serious financial difficulty and company debt pressure.

I was spoken to like a criminal by so-called insolvency experts who did not understand the real pressures company directors face during insolvency. That is why I built Director First, to provide honest and practical insolvency advice for company directors based on real lived experience.

We are not just insolvency practitioners ticking boxes. We are directors protecting directors. We remove the jargon, support you through creditor pressure and financial challenges, and help you find the best possible outcome for your company and your future without judgment.
