'We used Jerry Davison at The Mill Consultancy to set up our company EMI Scheme in 2013. Jerry was professional and friendly throughout, happy to answer all questions we passed his way. We are a startup and had very little knowledge of the workings of options schemes and share allocations, but Jerry was incredibly patient throughout the process. He also assisted us on some Articles amendments and other Companies House filings. The Mill Consultancy offer excellent value for money with no hidden costs. I would not hesitate to recommend them and hope to use them again in the future' - Croud Inc
