I have just received my copy of the book and I have to say what a marvellous effort everyone concerned has put into this. There is nothing like it on the market - and I would terms it as the "Layman's handbook to IVAs". I will definately be recommending that all my clients obtain a copy, as the information contained in the book is of huge value to anyone considering embarking on the path of an IVA.

Well done to Andy and the rest of the team.
Regards, Melanie Giles, Insolvency Practitioner
