To whom it may concern;

After being very patient with us to decide to do our duty audit, David and his team came in and very quickly and conveniently operated on our past files. We were confident that we had no incorrect past duty payments and they would find nothing. We found that we were grossly wrong, and pleasantly surprised! They found about 100 times more than we could have estimated. I highly recommend this type of service.

Kind regards, Ben Wilson Managing Director
