“Flint Bishop has proved to be a valuable part of our Credit Control process and their debt recovery results and returns have surpassed expectations. However, the results and returns are only a part of it, the relationship that has been built between our internal Litigation team and Flint Bishop is as solid as any I have seen between a client and external supplier.”
