We engaged the Strategic Talent team at UNW to identify an experienced Non-Executive Director who could help us implement a formal board structure and discipline as well as provide independent, objective oversight and support the development of our senior team. Having taken the time to truly understand our business and the dynamics of the key stakeholders, the team swiftly gave us a high-quality shortlist of candidates from which we were able to make a successful appointment to our board.

“UNW has been our auditor for the past five years or so and have been key in everything we’ve achieved during this time. Importantly, it is also a partner of NGI, so it’s important to acknowledge the support we receive there, too.

We’ve also further advice on a key number of other areas, most importantly around bidding for and securing the World Transplant Games, as well as valuable advice around VAT treatment and charitable status.

The Let’s Grow Fund, which was run by UNW in partnership with The Journal and BE Group, was also a great help for the inward investment team at NGI, working collaboratively as part of Invest Newcastle to secure grants for companies looking to invest in the region.”

UNW have provided a growing range of Assurance and Advisory services to Grainger in recent years and we have been consistently highly satisfied with what we receive.

They deliver expertise, great service and real value.
