A Start-up Star Success Story – Walker Filtration

We know that good financial advice during the business infancy stage can save costly mistakes and ensure future efficiency.
Client Brian Walker MBE, of Walker Filtration, started his international business from his garage in 1983 with the help of TTR Barnes. Today, Brian employs over 200 people, has plants in the USA, Japan and Australia and is in receipt of no less than 5 Queen’s awards for Enterprise. He is supporting the campaign and believes that the right business support is essential when starting out. “I would encourage all start-ups to enter. This is a great opportunity for one lucky business as they will benefit from the financial and technical support that comes from having a good accountant. The right accountants are not just bean counters, they are business advisors and mentors. The best advice I had when launching the business was to “Get a good banker, get a good solicitor and get a good accountant!” It is advice that has stood me in good stead over the years and gave me the confidence and time to focus on growing my business when I needed it most.”
