"Gabriel came on board to help me with do a MBO from Motor-Colombus AG, funded by 3i’s. Thank goodness he agreed to stay on afterwards as my FD!  

Through his financial stewardship we doubled our turnover every year. We set up our US company in Washington. We also opened several offices in USA and Europe. We sold in 22 countries through distributors. He stepped up our financial systems seamlessly.  I got on with my job and Gabriel did his, it was that simple. Audits were a breeze for me!  We eventually sold SQL Software to Intersolv Inc. (See Serena). 

Completely dependable, trusted and respected and more importantly liked by all, Gabriel has only one agenda and that is to get your company to where you want it to be! Put another way: if I were, as I did, putting my hand in my own pocket he would be the first one I would want on board."
Tani Haque, Founder and CEO SQL Software Ltd

"Gabriel really took the time to understand my businesses and helped with all my accountancy needs. He is a highly trusted and experienced professional providing a solid service that you can rely on."
Lyn Major MD TLE Technologies Ltd

"Gabriel was a great source of sound advice and financial sense in the set up of our music retail business. Once the business was running he managed our yearly accounts with skill and expertise and I would heartily recommend his services to businesses both large and small."
Peter Coyne – Owner Starside Records

"I have known Mr Gabriel Gribbin since he joined our company in 2000 as a financial controller fast rising to become finance director of our companies.

In that time I can honestly say that his strong financial and IT skills brought a huge amount of benefit and success to Levolux.

In fact his abilities really came to the fore when it was time to sell Levolux and his steady hand on the tiller made for a solid passage through the due diligence process resulting in him being warmly acclaimed by the new owners. His knowledge of IT and high-level accounting and in particular, reporting to the PLC was second to none.

I would warmly recommend Gabriel to anybody who wants help in growing their enterprise.  His attention to detail combined with a commercial approach has stood us in good stead in very difficult markets and he never fails to surprise his peers with his well rounded knowledge of business.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Gabriel to anyone who needs a strong and reliable financial man."
John Stern, Founder and CEO Levolux Ltd

"I have worked with Gabriel for 5 years – through the period in which Alumasc acquired Levolux and then with Gabriel being the divisional FD of Levolux, which is now a major part of The Alumasc Group plc.

Gabriel was highly professional and reliable at all times and operated successfully across the range from the strategic to the detailed level. The financial aspects of Levolux were managed and communicated in such a way that there were never any surprises, and any potential issues were highlighted well in advance so that they could be effectively managed.

One of Gabriel’s key differentiators, compared to many other FD’s I have worked with, is the depth of his commercial knowledge and knowledge of the construction industry, and therefore the extent he could contribute to, influence, help balance and challenge constructively the wider management team and Board. 

I would have no hesitation in recommending Gabriel as a FD of a small to medium sized growing/entrepreneurial business and/or one contemplating a sale."
