Robin is an excellent guy. He is a rare beast in the world of corporate accounting - he combines a deep knowledge of financial/ management accounting, operational experience as Finance Director and has the commercial acumen of an experienced MD. Not only that, he is very personable and can manage relationships. I have no hesitation in recommending Robin and Bellevue Partners. Bellevue Partners have been invaluable in the start up of my businesses.

David has played a pivotal role in a major corporate work-out and exit at the Albert Abela Group – not only by helping to achieve the best value from bidders but also by successfully protecting the Group and its shareholders from legal exposures and litigation across multiple jurisdictions. This has been a complex assignment and David has shown strong commercial awareness and numeracy which can be hard to find in a lawyer, as well as providing valuable operational support. I would recommend him to any situation which needs a sharp mind to deal with commercial and legal challenges.
Alan Harrold
CEO
Albert Abela Group
Robin and his team quickly understood the space in which we trade and were able to offer sound advice on all aspects of how we should focus our efforts to streamline in preparation for difficult times ahead. We were very impressed with all aspects of their service and continue to work with them today. I would highly recommend them to any business.
John Slater
Managing Director
Naked Ideas Limited
As CEO of a US$700m group involved in a number of business sectors, principally situated in Europe and the Middle East, I engaged David as Legal Counsel. He restored order and displayed commercial flair far beyond what would be expected in his role.
Bob Chase
Former CEO
Albert Abela Group
Robin’s development of our management information, ability to analyse our finances and readiness to support all functions of the organisation were of great value to me and the business in going through our MBO. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable business partner with strong analytical skills to make and deliver plans that increase commercial value. I really enjoyed working with him.
Scott Logie
Strategy (and former Managing) Director
Occam DM Limited
I first met David in 1996. We were running a web design shop and he provided commercially astute advice during the turbulent years of the dot com boom and bust. He also advised us during several rounds of M&A activity and eventually joined us. Since starting Fjord in 2001 he has continued to be our trusted adviser. Our long-standing relationship is testament to his effectiveness and the high regard with which he is held’.
Mike Beeston
Chairman
Fjordnet Limited
All in all, this experience was very worthwhile and has helped us to focus on the planning aspect of our business. Robin has enabled me to question my strengths & weaknesses and helped us as a business to put solutions in place.
Jayne Raftery
Director
Straight A Training Limited
Robin’s unobtrusive manner in supporting myself and my senior team with two major projects was much appreciated. His facilitation and feedback ensured we were focused and worked effectively as a group to make the key decisions.
