We’ve been working with this amazing team for the past couple of years, and they’ve taken so much pressure off our shoulders.

The three things which describe Melrose and why they stand out … Helpful, Knowledgeable and Clear Understanding!

– Nathan – Railway Inn, Billingshurst

I have used Melrose for 12 years – all the time I have run my pub in Thornbury they have always been able to answer any queries.

I have a business review with the Account Manager on a regular basis – Jeff is always thorough and has given me sound advice.

The office staff are just amazing in every way; they answer any email or telephone queries as quickly and efficiently as I could ever wish for; the stock taker always arrives on time and carries out the visit without any disruption to service and a report arrives shortly after – suffice to say I would never think of going anywhere else and will continue to use them and will highly recommend them to others.

– Sandra – Swan Inn, Thornbury

We have used Melrose Group for almost 5 years, following a recommendation. As our business has grown over the 5 years, we have utilized many of the services Melrose offer including their general accounts service, payroll and tax advice team. We have found all departments to be very helpful and informative.

Our Melrose business partner, Mark, is always available on the phone and will visit any of our sites as required. Having ran his own multiple operation pub business, Mark is very knowledgeable of our business and industry. Shelley, our payroll specialist, is also very helpful with all payroll matters and always goes above and beyond, to ensure our payroll is accurate each month.

– Wessex Pub Co

Great accountants especially Mike – I’ve been using Melrose since November 21 and I have had no issues at all

The team are very friendly and thorough and are extremely quick in processing everything cannot fault 😊

– Chelsie Barratt – Wye Inn, Hereford

Been with Melrose for a few years now and would recommend them 100%. As a pub landlord I feel Melrose has helped during this uncertain time where others havent. I have nothing but praise for Melrose and all the team involved. Especially Julie Tolson who has recently advised me. It is a very personal business relationship where they get to know you and advise Not once did I feel that Melrose didn’t care or we had to wait too long for a reply to a question. Thank you.

– Dave Morris- The Royal Oak Corsham

We engaged the services of Melrose in December 2021, since then we haven’t looked back with support in payroll and accounts.

Highly recommended for the hospitality businesses. Our client manager Mike Jones is always on hand to support with solutions and assistance.

– Rob – The Halfway Pub & Restaurant, Llanelli

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Melrose since before we opened in July 2021. Their information and advice pre-opening made the whole experience seamless and stress-free and always available to take my calls.

Nowhere along the journey did I feel I wasn’t supported by a great team. From training courses to accounts & payroll, they provide a friendly, professional service and nothing is too much trouble.

I couldn’t recommend them highly enough and will readily continue to use their services.
Thank you Melrose.

– D. Richards – The Old Bank Hotel

We engaged with Melrose nearly 10 years ago now and have never looked back. We have nine businesses with them, and I have nothing but praise for their hardworking, professional and knowledgable team.
We use Melrose for all aspects of our businesses, from accounting, payroll and stock taking to Buisness plans for new businesses.
The team is always quick to react and always meets deadlines.
I have been very fortunate to have worked with the same team over the 10 years. Esther Cox, our client Manager, Tasi, Kylie in Payroll and Katy in accounts. Honestly couldn’t work with such knowledgable and professional people.
Highly recommended! They are by far the best in the hospitality sector.

– Mick Gillis – Australian Arms, Ramsgate

This is my first time running a business and all I can say is a big thankyou to these guys ! They have been a great help with some silly questions I’ve had regarding pay role or even just everyday accounting. Mike is fabulous and pops in to see me to give me any advice I might require. The app for invoices and receipts is a god send makes it so easy to keep on top of things. I would defiantly recommend to anyone

Really pleased with the service I receive with Melrose. Simple systems that are modern and easy to use, thorough reporting and most importantly, knowledgeable, friendly and easy to get hold of. Mark Winchcombe was great at the outset with business plan writing, budgeting and industry relevant advice and very happy with his ongoing support. I didn’t compare costs to elsewhere as their service spoke for itself.
