What Our Clients Say
 

I sold my veterinary practice in June 2021 after extensive due diligence conducted by David Preece plus; the property sale and lease reassignment of another property was managed by Steven Burke. Both were extremely efficient and both always had the correct information to hand at short notice and both gave excellent advice at key stages.

Very satisfied - I used FBC Manby Bowdler LLP for the first time back in the summer after a business contact had recommended the firm to me. I was very satisfied by the whole experience. I experienced high levels of professionalism and expertise. I would choose to use FBC Manby Bowdler again.
