L Pickering & Sons is a family owned and run business based in Warwick. They are specialist in perforated and expanding metal products for the separation and filtration industries, shipping across the world, with roots in the industry going back to 1945. We hear from Chris Pickering about his experience of working with Pentlands.
“We were going through a period of major change, embarking on a demerger of two companies and an associated management restructure.
After a long-standing relationship with our accountants, we wanted an alternative perspective on the business and Pentlands offered this and more. They are forward thinking and modern in their approach. They provide us with strategic input and have worked with us to understand the options and then helped us implement these changes.
Pentlands supported us with the changes in the business and also provided support to implement a new accounting system specifically for manufacturers. From the start of our working relationship, we would meet regularly to go through management accounts. When lockdown happened, we switched to monthly Teams meetings. We still do these every month without fail.
This has given us clarity around our departmental numbers, we have greater confidence in our decisions, and we have greater visibility of our cost savings and how to improve our waste management.
We are a family business, and family values hold great importance to us and shape how we operate. In this regard, we feel strongly aligned with the values Pentlands uphold, and they have played a pivotal role in deepening our understanding of the values we bring to all our stakeholders.
The team are friendly and always willing to help. It is great to have them as part of our team, to be that listening ear, to provide a second opinion and to be our accountability partners. They help us recognise our achievements and give us confidence in our potential.”
