Neil Bowler

Expert in Debt Recovery, The Debt Recovery Bureau

Neil is the Managing Partner of The Debt Recovery Bureau (DRB) where they have been collecting debts on behalf of clients for 21 years. Offering a ‘pay as you go’ service, DRB works across a number of sectors where clients invoice for goods and services and have an issue with late payers. For commercial debts or those owed by public bodies, costs and late payment interest can usually be added to the outstanding sum due. With the recent rounds of Section 114 (bankruptcy) notices from Councils, they have seen a significant increase in the number of overdue invoices issued to Councils and have successfully recovered a number of these for clients, effectively at no cost.

What our clients say about us

As a kind of small, medium business, tenders are very time consuming, can be quite arduous, potentially complex, and she cut through it all, making it very clear, concise, articulate, and helped us with our final submission in terms of writing the final draft, which basically allowed us to focus on selling our business, our services and USPs and the commercials into the template that was required and necessary for the project in hand. And happily to say, sort of 10 days later, our first using of Vicky's services, we won that tender.
