“Setting out to gain funding in the midst of a Global pandemic, despite the obvious potential of the business in a rapidly emerging key market, was extremely challenging.  Having the very considerable experience and expertise of BDO beside us to navigate an uncharted landscape was invaluable.  Everyone in the BDO Team was experienced and knowledgeable, and were on point to negotiate on our behalf, freeing us to focus on what would be required to implement our strategic plans.  We are delighted that BOOST&Co saw the potential of our business to be one of the companies that will grow and create jobs and value for UK economy beyond the pandemic and that BDO were able to connect us.
