Report
We are an established Community Interest Company, government regulated. Mills and Black were the rudest company we've come across. They do not know our company but refused to do our accounts on the basis that "they've had their fingers burned with one cic before". Whatever that means. Don't go near them, they are incredibly blinkered.
