As we have developed and grown Wake Marine’s business in recent years, it has been very useful to compare our performance with similar firms in the ship broking field. Plimsoll’s large data base of companies and its excellent analysis allows us to do just that – particularly in the areas of turnover and profitability. (July 2023)

I’ve been a fan of the work Plimsoll have done for me for a number of years.
The iteration was not exactly what I needed to be useful so I emailed and got to speak with David who did what was asked of him, quickly. The businesses we now watch give a great overall picture of the state of play.
Those identified with weak financial strength have since gone. It took a few years but we were able to brace ourselves and minimise the potential damage.
Over the years the accounts we watch have moved from the wholesale to the retail sectors and Plimsoll have adapted to the changes in our business.
Plimsoll is a service I’d recommend any business to take a close look at. And they look after you once you’ve invested your money. (February 2024).

I approached Plimsoll on a Sunday afternoon, after searching online for a relevant company to potentially value my business.
Plimsoll offered to send me a sample report (which any potential customer could use to assess the nature of the full report) which they did, early on the Monday morning.
The report was followed up with a call from Kevin Solomon, one of the Plimsoll analysts, and I reviewed this very comprehensive sample report and discussed my requirements with him.
Kevin was very approachable and quickly understood my requirements. We discussed specific matters relating to my business and I duly appointed Plimsoll to undertake the valuation of my business.
To support the valuation process, I supplied relevant accounting information and also some ‘non standard’ further accounting and sales information which enabled Plimsoll to build their informed valuation.
I contracted for their four day turnaround for the delivery of the report and it actually arrived within three days!
After reviewing the very detailed report, I spoke with Kevin on the phone about a required change of emphasis within some of the text and within 24 hours I received the final version.
I would very happily recommend Plimsoll to any parties that require a business valuation, they were at all times, understandable, approachable and very professional.
