You build up an account handling relationship.
Then they leave.
"Friendly. Helpful. Efficient. A real gem."
Just a few of the words that have been used to describe members of the Sowerby Group team - from the people who know: Our clients. That's hardly surprising. Not only have we recruited the best talent around, our extremely low staff turnover means our staff stay with us. Their skill sets get bigger. Their experience deeper. And their client relationships stronger.
Added together, our team's experience runs into three figures. And is the sum greater than the constituent parts? Well, have a good look at each member then you decide. Either way, we're sure you'll agree it's an impressive line-up.
