What People are Saying...
“I always found Mark to be straightforward and an easy person with which to deal. In all our meetings during and after our business merger, I found him to be hard-working, honest and trustworthy. I was impressed with his ability to sell our ideas. He was able to successfully pitch our requirements, and we came away with a great result.”
Mr GW
“As at July 2025 Rod is advising my family on a rather complex sale of a group of family businesses. Rod has dealt with the prospective purchaser in a robust but fair manner, has introduced us to a solicitor who speaks our language, and explained some complex financial issues and tax opportunities to us very clearly and professionally.”
Mr LS
“Mark's personal experiences and hands-on approach were immensely valuable to us. He contributed to our strategic planning as we executed a roll-up strategy and acquired several businesses across the country. When we were approached by a prospective purchaser, his insights genuinely helped us maximise our deal value.”
Mr TB
“Rod helped me out after I appointed a national sales agency who promised to market my manufacturing business. I was disappointed with the national agency but Rod was able to rescue my position, giving me full advice on how best to market my business for sale and all relevant tax advice.”
Mr S
“Rod and the team at Channon & Co acted on my diverse dealings with companies involved in property development, motorsports, retail sales, civil engineering and other trades for 30 years. I have bought and sold many companies in that time and Rod has provided first class services throughout, with wonderful tax results always.”
Mr IM
“Mark led the due diligence process for our largest acquisition to date at the time. He expertly handled the sellers doubts & questions, whilst coordinating with our internal management team, solicitors, external accountants and other professional advisors...this was one of our most successful acquisitions to date.”
Mr PR
“Rod and his tax advisory team (which includes Roger Bibby who has been a wonderful support), advised me, at all stages, on a multimillion £ sale of my IFA practice recently. The service I received has been extremely professional and it is now clear to me that tax savings of over £1 million have been made. Some difficult concepts have been explained in layman's terms and nothing has been too much trouble.”
Mr RA
“Rod advised us in detail on the sale of our care home group. We were complete novices as to what the process involved, but Rod helped us through and introduced a solicitor who did not charge the earth and was approachable. The team did everything possible to make sure our deal completed quickly and they helped us meet a tax deadline, all with a minimum of fuss and at a reasonable fee level ”
