They provide carefully considered support and guidance, adding value at every stage of the process. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
They are great - we can rely on them to be responsive and do extremely high-quality work
They were incredibly understanding of our unique needs and collaborated in a very flexible way. I would describe the team as very approachable and capable – they took time to listen to our requirements and made recommendations accordingly.
The team is responsive, only requiring short notice when crises arise. They are technical experts and knowledgeable, but also commercial and pragmatic, as well as personable and easy to work with.
The two individuals I dealt with at Simkins were exceptional. They had specific industry knowledge and skills and were prepared to work cross-border. Their approach was collaborative while still protecting their clients' interests.
Collaborative, pragmatic, and good people to deal with.
