About to go with Nixon Williams

I was thinking the exact same thing. Users with 6 posts to their name, all today making a huge deal out of an accountant who frequents the board, followed up by a huge comprehensive sales pitch from them.

Sorry if it sounded like an advert, like I said before I needed advice on people with experience. I have removed their services list from my second post and ask pmeswani to remove from his post as well (in quote).

Original post has the questions I was after and I am pretty much clear on these, thanks to everyone. If you guys still think the OP has anything that looks like advert let me know.

By the way I did not have 6 posts to my name when I posted this question. It was just my first post. I am reading the forums for 1 month now and did not think I had the knowledge to share so never posted. Now I need to take an important decision and was just after help from others with experience so posted my questions.

Question for moderators: Is the forum fully moderated or is it just me who have to wait for approval on every message?

<mod note>We thought you looked odd so we are watching you. This is a local forum, for local people... No, all new users posts are moderated, will message the main administrator to see if he can bump you into the non-moderated user group</mod note>

Thank for good points, particularly HSBC one.
I think they are offering 18 months free to anybody online.

Will look into it.

They offer 2 years free banking if you are a new business, and 18 if you are transferring... (If memory serves me right).

2 diff accounts on their website.

One for people dealing online and other for people wanting branch access more.
Both with 18 months free. I will pop into my local branch and see if I can get another offer as I am with them for years.

I can not find what will be banking cost after this free period though.

Thank you for your assuring comments

I read good about him in other threads too but for some reason he is not searchable on google. I hope it is ok for you to provide his website (if there is any) to read more.

Erm, I was actually recommending you...

I know and I appreciate it, I was trying to point out to new contractors why there were delays last year, although they were out of our control.

They didn't do the direct account when we signed up, however when we chatted it over we decided we are better off paying charges and getting more interest
