“Hoppa, a Waverley-based community transport charity, have used Wise & Co (now Shaw Gibbs) as it’s auditors and advisors for more than 14 years.

We have found the major benefits of using them to be – convenient access to a local team, but combined with a professional ‘big company’ attitude.

Their advice and guidance on the ever-changing charity sector has been reassuring to myself, and all the other Trustees at Hoppa.”

Peter comes to that meeting too and this is successful because Shaw Gibbs are really good at taking on feedback and improving.”
