Boulter & Woodward

Boulter and Woodward Construction Services - a Collections and Payroll Case Study from Oriel Group.

Boulter and Woodward, a London-based recruitment agency specialising in the construction sector, was set up by Rob Boulter in 2007. 


Like many new start businesses, Rob quickly realised that the reality of setting up and running your own business can be more complex than originally envisaged.  He found himself spending much time chasing late payments, struggling to pay staff and set up accounting systems.  As a result, a state of financial disarray dominated the business and Rob was distracted from winning new clients and building his new business.

Keen to ensure the future success of the business, he made the decision to contact Oriel and since then Rob claims it has been smooth sailing.  Rob handed over all his accounts to Oriel who now chase all payments over 90 days and pay all of his staff weekly based on the time sheets he provides.  Since Oriel took over Boulter and Woodward's accounts, Rob is relieved to know that he can trust the accounting experts at Oriel to manage his accounts and give him the profit, making it very easy for him.

Rob comments: "Before I was losing lots of sleep but now Oriel has saved me and the business.  My focus has shifted from chasing money to chasing new business.  They really have made the difference between business failure and success for me and I can't emphasise how good they are.  My account manager, Neil, is straightforward and honest and totally understands the financial help needed by small businesses.  In addition, Oriel's online system is one of the simplest to use, access is free and allows me to file all the paperwork on time.  Oriel really does deliver services that take the hassle away and their support frees up my time, helping to ensure my business flourishes.
