“I find Francis Clark to be very forward-thinking and proactive. The information they provide is absolutely trustworthy and solid and that gives us immense confidence in the decisions we have to make. Brian’s wealth of knowledge of the sector is well-known but he also brings up things which are off-topic but relevant to us and he will pass these on which is fantastic because it is often something we haven’t even thought about.”
