TLC Accountants
We were delighted to support Claire Mattison who along with business partner James Lister had set up TLC Accountants in 2014 and swiftly grown the firm to having more than 350 clients – without any marketing at all.
A worthy winner of the Start Up Of the Year category at the regional Yorkshire and North East Forward Ladies Awards, Claire had faced an intensive judging process, which included a panel interview along with scrutiny of the written submission.
Having won the regional award Claire was put forward t the national ceremony in Leeds, along with the other regional winners. The smile on her face in the picture says it all! Claire was over the moon that her and James’ hard work was recognised with this business award.
Claire says: “The Awards Writers team supported me thoughout the process, first writing the entry and then talking through how best to prepare for the panel interview.
“It was daunting, but also really gratifying to be able to talk about all of our hard work and the brilliant business we had grown. I was shocked and over the moon to take home the national award!”
