Testimonials

Julian McBride | MD - I Secure Group Ltd

I am thrilled to share my feedback on the exceptional business mentoring that I received from Neil, who has been instrumental in the growth of my business. I have been working with Neil for the last 5 years, which has been an absolute game-changer for me.

The transition of stepping out of the military and into the business world has been a big challenge that has been made easier by Neil’s expertise, guidance and support. From the very beginning, Neil has been a constant source of inspiration, motivation and invaluable knowledge.

With Neil’s strategic advice and practical tips, I could focus on what I could achieve rather than what would happen if I failed. I recommend Neil as a business mentor to anyone seeking to bring their business to new heights. Thank you for your continued support.

Mike Smith | CEO - Business & Leadership Consultant

In the 15 years I have known Neil, he has always been a force for good for business and the people within the businesses that he represents. Myself and some of my clients have benefited greatly from his laser like insight into business performance, an ability to dispassionately assess situations, whilst passionately involving himself in solutions and future developments.

Neil is remarkably agile in dealing with the situations people find themselves in and has the wherewithal to appropriately engage, lead from the front or guide from behind, whichever element is right for the client and the people he is working with.

He has a restless nature, which means he takes a personal stake holding in the solutions he proposes and in the people he represents and is very much a front foot player, acting at pace and seeking the right outcomes.

Brett Robertson | CEO - Health Med Wellness + Performance

Neil is one of the most dedicated and authentic business leaders I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His four decades of experience are only part of what makes him exceptional. It’s his integrity, his thoughtful approach, and the way he invests in people that really set him apart. Working with Neil, you feel supported every step of the way. His advice is always grounded in real-world experience, and he has a unique ability to simplify the most complex problems. I can say without hesitation that he has been instrumental in both my personal growth and the development of my business.

Neil Harrisons’ business experience has served him very well; his wide successes are testament to that. Over many years, his business advice has also helped many successful businesses to progress further with even more confidence. This has certainly been the case for me since 2011.

Neil’s mentoring has helped me in many ways to navigate some of the pitfalls in modern day business, but importantly, how to avoid mistakes which are often accompanied by inevitable high costs. Even today, his tenacity to embark on new business initiatives makes things look easy, but they are not without the right experience.

If you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of facing litigation, Neil’s network and knowledge for help is second to none. He can answer most questions on business, or he will definitely know someone who can.

I worked with Neil for six years and with the benefit of his loyalty and support, progressed from a graduate position to qualifying as an Insolvency practitioner. Neil is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable mentor who is always generous with his time.

In his long and successful career in accountancy and insolvency, he has helped to mould many up and coming professionals, who have benefited greatly from his advice and guidance and I am only one such example. Since qualifying and beginning to take appointments as an IP, I have given insolvency advice to hundreds of clients, who I hope would say have been shown the same patience and dedication to client service that I experienced Neil offer to the countless clients he assisted in our time together.

Neil’s experience of running his own firm meant he understood the issues experienced
by his clients and could support them in turning around and growing their small businesses into successful ones!

Martin Clinton | Director/Owner - Keep Fit Darlington

Neil has been nothing short of transformative for me and my business. When I first reached out to him, I was in need of business advice, which would aid me in my entrepreneurial journey. I was unsure of how to move forward with my business and take it to the next level and I was lacking the confidence as well as experience to take the next steps.

Neil’s guidance and support have been invaluable. Not only has he provided expert business coaching and advice, but he has also helped me navigate through personal challenges and understand how my business works.

Thanks for Neil’s guidance, I’ve gained clarity on my goals, developed a stronger sense of self-awareness, and cultivated the confidence to grow my business. I’m no longer just surviving in my business – I’m thriving, and I owe much of that success to Neils unwavering support and expertise. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward in your business, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Neil. His unique blend of business coaching, professionalism and expertise has been a game changer for me, and I have no doubt he can help you achieve your business goals

Ethan Hall

I am delighted to recommend Neil to anyone who reads this for business advice. I approached Neil through recommendations from my Dad. We met over a coffee and went over the questions I had prepared. Neil answered them in a way that I could easily pick up and understand. What separated Neil from the rest for me personally is that he didn’t just answer my prepared questions but he taught me how the business world worked, especially involving Tax. This allowed me to ask further questions that I would not of thought to ask as before meeting Neil I was not experienced in that field. I went on with the knowledge I had gained and applied them to my tax rebate which resulted in a substantial difference to what I was entitled too.

Howard Little | Membership Advisor | Federation of Small Businesses

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Neil Harrison, and I can honestly say his team have been outstanding. They are professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping businesses achieve real results.

What I appreciate most is their practical, down-to-earth advice and the time they take to truly understand each client’s situation. They don’t just offer generic solutions — they tailor their guidance to what each business actually needs. Because of the great experiences I’ve had with them, I’ve confidently recommended Harrisons Business Advisory to many of my own clients, and the feedback has always been extremely positive. It’s rare to find a team that combines expertise, integrity, and genuine care the way they do.

If you’re looking for trusted advisors who deliver both results and peace of mind, I can’t recommend Harrisons Business Advisory highly enough.
