Thompson Wright Accountants and Richard Thompson have been part of KHG Security Limited’s journey since our incorporation (technically, before - I first met Richard in 1999!) Apart from providing us with an excellent accountancy service for a quarter of a century I’ve recently turned to Richard for advice on growing the business and taking KHG to the next level. After I bought out my final business partner I had bigger plans for the business, and Richard has really helped me to start achieving these, and with him knowing the company inside out I feel it has really helped to start us on the road to even greater success. This isn’t just a public ‘Thank You’ to Richard and Thompson Wright, it’s also an endorsement of their services, which have proved their worth time and time again. If you’re looking for the very best in the business then you won’t go far wrong choosing them. (As an aside, I also moved my investments and pension to funds recommended by TW, and they’re running at between 30 and 33% over the last 5 years, which is pretty good going in my book!) Thanks team TW - Here’s to another 25 years plus!
