Director First  Reviews 762

We had a lengthy conversation with Chris Heal recently, having booked an assessment. Unfortunately, we missed the timed assessment, received an email with Chris's contact details and telephoned to apologise { out of hours } expecting to be told to rebook! What an absolute gentleman he is, actually took the call which lasted almost an hour. I drive a truck, we have our own haulage business operating two articulated vehicles and it can be stressful and lonely. There is only me, and when the pressure hits it can be soul destroying and overwhelming. Chris completely put things into perspective, his knowledge of the situation was immeasurable. He completely changed my outlook at a time when things looked really bleak. His advice made absolute sense and was definitely welcomed. I actually thought out of hours he would actually ask me to rebook!! Cannot thank Director First enough, would definitely recommend to anyone else in a similar situation, please reach out, don't suffer in silence. Chris actually spoke to me later on that evening, having himself spoken to Chris Worden just to reaffirm his already sound advice. This was all about eight o'clock in the evening!! Nothing was too much trouble, and he actually said call me anytime, my phone is always on. Wow, just Wow. What a Guy, what a team. Give them a call for any business advice, insolvency, bankruptcy, they've definitely given me the opportunity to breathe again, and it turns out things weren't as bad as we thought. Keep up the good work Director First.

Spoke with Chris and his team and the outcome was so much better than I expected. I can't recommend this team enough, I'd highly recommend to any business owner.

Chris is very knowledgeable and has been extremely helpful. I would recommend 100% and have no hesitation to use him again

The team were extremely professional and knowledgable, communication was quick and fluid. They made you feel comfortable and at ease at a very difficult time. I couldn’t thank them enough for helping me through a very challenging period. Huge thanks to Chris and the team, I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help.

I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank the directors for their help throughout my insolvency process. From the very first call, everything was explained clearly, without judgment or pressure. What could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation was made surprisingly simple and straightforward because of how they handled it.

Their professionalism, honesty, and compassion stood out at every stage. They treated me with respect, communicated clearly, and took the time to ensure I understood each step which made all the difference. It’s rare to find people in this field who genuinely care and make the process feel human.

I’m deeply grateful for the support, reassurance, and efficiency they provided. They turned what I expected to be a nightmare into something manageable and even empowering. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation.

Thank you sincerely for your help, it really meant a lot.

A really clear and approachable advice for my future thank you Shaun

I wasn't sure what to expect at first but was very soon put at ease. All the steps were clearly explained and various members of the team all played their part.
It was an entirely smooth operation.

Nadina Parker, was very helpful and her help was very useful. Highly recommend.

I found director first via a google search
Nadina was amazing at putting my mind at rest and gave me free advice about how to go about closing my company, she assured me as my case was relatively simple that I would be able to complete the process on my own. When other companies were wanting a lot of money to complete the process. She guided me through it step by step and answered any other questions I had. although I didn't actually deal with anyone else at director first. Nadina was absolutely amazing I would highly recommend her to anyone! thank you so much 5*

Members of the team are very freindly and give quick practical advice specific to your situation.
They are reassuring and give you the confidence to take the next steps.

As my situation was simple they provided the advice at no charge.
A draft letter was also provided.

Very satisfied with the advice and would recommend to anyone facing business closures.

Chris was very very helpful, guided me through some valuable advice and made me feel a lot less worried and stressed about my business.
Made me realize it isn't at the point off needing to liquidate

very useful information provided for a further development on the issue

I recently placed my company into a CVL, and the support I received from Shaun and the team was excellent. Nadina was brilliant to work with and guided me through every step, answered all my questions, and made a difficult situation far less stressful. They were always available and gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommended.

Hi all after Chris listening to my inquiry
His advised was very nice way to move forward and best way to sort it out.
Many thanks for your time and explained
What would be best for me.

I spoke with Chris. He quickly assessed my situation and gave me insights into how HMRC would treat my situation, the options open to me, and reassured me that certain worrying things would certainly not happen any time soon.
The advice was comprehensive, concise and free! There was no upsell on the back of it.
If you're worried about your company's situation, I recommend you call straight away. You will feel better for it!

Great advice & putting my mind at ease were Both Emily Goodhew and Shaun Worden. They talked me through the options (as everyone's case is different)
They are very experienced and know the answers to all of your questions, which is a great relief in a time of great worry & stress.
I cannot recommend the team at Director First highly enough, great advice and support.

Very professional

These guys are seriously proactive and definitely know what they're talking about.

In this space, that's all you could ever need.

Highly recommended

chris and his team were more than helpful when i needed advise regards my business. although we did not have to liquidise the business chris and his team help me through the process and advised what i needed to do. fingers crossed i wont need chris again (in the nicest of ways) and i recommend to anyone seeking advise.

Thank you

I can’t thank Chris enough.

From the minute I spoke to Chris I felt at ease immediately.

At what is a very daunting time for many experiencing financial distress, he very much listened and explained each option in detail.

It never felt like he was trying to push a particular option and truly advised what he felt more suitable.

Can’t thank him enough.
