When I first saw Chris on my socials it left me wondering who this guy was, let me tell you, if you've got your head in the sand about the state of your business, this guy drags you out feet first..no bull no flannel, tells you straight what needs to be done and helps you every step of the way, he's team are excellent but for me most importantly Chris is always on the end of the phone, I've had 7am chats with him after sleepless nights by 8am the world has a different outlook. His connections and advise is 2nd to none. As company directors most of us carry the weight of the world, especially in a struggling business, Director First have the ability and knowledge to lighten that load.

Chris Teal responded by phone within 5 minutes of me sending the initial contact form and we discussed my situation for 30minutes. We then set up a follow up video call for a few day later with both Chris Teal & Chris Warden. They offered clear, no-nonsense and helpful advice for how I might best tackle the situation in the coming months. Very supportive and easy to talk to with no pressure just sensible, practical suggestions. it is clear they are experienced in their industry and look for the best outcome for their clients. Very helpful and highly recommended.

Chris was fabulous. In a short 10 min phone call he confirmed that my thinking on the way to resolve my clients situation was correct and also gave us an additional avenue to try to resolve his outstanding debts. All of a sudden there was light at the end of a very long tunnel. Thank you so much.

Shaun has nothing but incredible. He has calmed me throughout what was a really difficult and stressful period of my life. He has been professional and kind, and was always ready by phone or email when I had any questions or just needed someone to talk to. I'd recommend Directors First for anyone facing difficulties with their company. Thank you, Shaun!

I can’t speak highly enough of Chris and his team! I stumbled across there website when I was going through the worst time in my life with my business! The stress that I was under was immediately relieved after speaking to them ! They have helped me through the whole process of closing my business in the right way and the difference it has made to me and my family cannot be put in words. All I can say is if you’re a director in the same situation don’t hesitate to contact directors first - trust me!!!!

Svar fra Director First
I honestly cannot speak highly enough about Director First.
From the very first conversation they put me completely at ease during what was an incredibly stressful time. The whole process was explained clearly, handled professionally, and was far more straightforward than I ever imagined it would be.
Their expertise and experience were obvious from the start, and that reassurance made a huge difference. For months I had been carrying an enormous amount of pressure, and after speaking with them I slept through the night properly for the first time in a long time.
A special thank you to Shaun, who was brilliant throughout. Supportive, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond whenever I had questions.
If you ever find yourself in a difficult situation as a director, I would not hesitate to recommend Director First. I genuinely wish more people knew about them. At a time when many business owners are under huge pressure, the work they do really does change lives.
Massive thank you to the whole team.

Towards the end of 2025, my business ran into cashflow problems that were no longer manageable. I realised I would need to place the company into some form of administration. After doing some initial research online, I contacted a couple of insolvency firms and found myself being steered toward a specific route — the preferred option of those particular companies.
Whether this was due to their own business models or because I had unintentionally guided the conversation based on my own research, I later realised I was being led down the wrong path for my situation.
I then met Director First, working with Chris and his team, who took a detailed look at my business. They explored the possibility of the business continuing and recommended a solution tailored specifically to my circumstances.
I’m extremely happy — and genuinely feel lucky — to have come across Director First. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail and their excellent communication. They are very forward‑thinking and make great use of WhatsApp, which made it incredibly easy to reach them at any time: during the day, after hours, evenings, and weekends. This was invaluable, because when your business is facing administration, you’re dealing with huge amounts of stress, worry, and uncertainty.
These guys really put my mind at ease. After moving forward with their recommended solution, I’m sleeping better, feeling more relaxed, and far less stressed. The situation has moved into a new phase, and many of the urgent challenges I was facing have now been dealt with and resolved. I’m now moving forward again.
I’m truly grateful to Director First for their holistic and supportive approach — looking at the business from the director’s perspective, understanding the issues, recommending appropriate solutions, and genuinely guiding me through the process in as stress‑free a manner as possible.
