The level of quality and regulatory thoroughness delivered by Lee and the team was first-class. I found myself in a challenging situation however their depth of expertise made navigating it seamless. Every detail was analysed carefully and they delivered tailored, practical solutions that significantly reduced my workload and strengthened my position. I would 100% recommend to any seeking compliance advice.
Lee Werrell of Compliance Consultant has been exceptional at providing compliance support for my mortgage brokerage. His understanding of and wealth of experience with the regulatory body, The Financial Conduct Authority, is second to none and this translated into the advice and support offered to my business.
I cannot recommend this firm highly enough for your compliance needs. I have used other compliance consultant firms previously and they do not compare even remotely to the level of expertise and service offered by Lee Werrell.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and generous review.
It has been a genuine pleasure supporting your mortgage brokerage. Helping firms navigate FCA expectations in a practical, proportionate way—while strengthening governance and compliance arrangements—is exactly what we aim to do at Compliance Consultant.
I’m particularly pleased that the advice and support stood out compared to previous experiences, as we work hard to provide clear, commercially-aware guidance that genuinely adds value rather than complexity.
Thank you again for your recommendation and trust. If we can ever assist further as your business evolves, we’re always happy to help.

Authorization
Lee Werrell provided a first class service. He explained the FCA rules relevant to our authorization. Lee did so quickly and clearly in language that I could understand – no mean task if you have tried to read the FCA Handbook!

I worked with Compliance Consultant for 2 years and was involved in a variety of projects for various firms, both start-ups and established. Lee was a pleasure to work with and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of compliance, this provided reassurance that client work was carried out to a high standard. The team at Compliance Consultant worked very closely and was always on hand to provide assistance or advice on specialist areas for eg FCA Authorisations or Audits.
Thank you for your kind words Simon, and good luck in your future career.

In a high pressure situation, Compliance Consultant stepped in to help us further understand the requirements and completely changed the authorization documentation urgently needed.

First class service in every way. Whilst applying for FCA authorisation the original compliance company we were working with let us down. Feeling despondent, Lee from Compliance Consultant stepped in and assured us we would have our application submitted on time. Suzanna was our direct contact and she worked tirelessly to ensure we met our deadline. Not only did we meet our deadline, but our completed application was submitted to the FCA, 1 week ahead of schedule.
Both Lee and Suzanna took the time to communicate clearly the detail within each section of the application.
They went above and beyond and felt more like friends by the end of the process. I would highly recommend Compliance Consultant both in terms of professionalism and value for money. We look forward to working with Compliance Consultant in the future.
Thank you for your kind words Angela. We pride ourselves in providing a fast and flexible service and in your case we were up against it, for sure. Too often we find ourselves mopping up after others but in your case it was a pleasure to work with you. FCA authorisations are unfortunately taken too lightly by many inexperienced compliance consultants and soon find themselves out of their depth both in qualifications and experience. It is always unwise to pay too much, but in a specialist area, foolish to pay too little. We have 13 years experience in this area and always strive to do more than required, to assist our clients get a favourable outcome. Thanks again and we are happy you would consider using us again. 😁

We approached Lee between Christmas & New Year about some compliance work we urgently needed completing for a newco setup. He communicated very clearly what we would need and why. Once instructed, he delivered this on time and cost effectively. Recommended.
Many thanks for your recommendation. We always try to be agile and flexible as we understand that sometimes urgency is all important.

STAY AWAY from this people and specially - Lee Werrell.
Thery are just a scam, copy - paste compliance consultant.
Aplication was rejected because did not meet FCA approach registration, my aplication was not complete, certain amount of documents was missing and not actually submitted. Two things that was recommended by the FCA Officer was 1x I might need to ask for a compliance consultant to help with the process. 2x when speaking to a compliance consultant they sould be able to gide whith the aplication.
FCA officers did not even notice that I was guided by a compliance consultant.
1xApproach to FCA not complaint.
2xThe application is also lacking details ( like at least cv including some experience in no previous experience in AML or knowledge of MLRs.
3x FCA Refunded the aplicatin and Recommended to find an experienced compliance consultant in my sector, to work on my application.
When explaining to Lee Werrell email, came back with "sorry, we did our best" and went silent forever. Received your £7K and run away.
Lee Werrell is an incompetent compliance consultant.
Very bad experience with this people, after payment delays, no answer,(might be responsive here some one) promising 2 weeks ended with 8 weeks. Poor experience I will recommend else were they are wasting time and losing your money, my correspondence was with Lee Werrell this guy not pleased, they have non-existent phone number and a land line that leave your message....good look.
We are sorry that your application was rejected after your competency interview. As you hide with anonymity and this is the second 1* review on the same subject, , we will be looking to take appropriate action.
Top Tui2021.11.03
Warning this people are scammers, they have taken £10k for full FCA application and the feedback from FCA came as you need stick for a compliance consultant. Lee Werrell is looking for your money. AVOID
We are always sorry to hear malicious claims and will be taking the appropriate action.
Mohamed Yassin2021.10.28
Outstanding job on every level. We are very pleased with their work. Done on time, done on budget and they know what they are doing.
They handled everything with extreme professionalism and delivered our project in a timely manner. We couldn't be happier with the end outcomes, Lee and his team were extremely thorough, understanding and responsive throughout each stage of our contract. We look forward to working with them in the future on our project. Thank you, Lee and Compliance Consultant team.
Thank you for your kind words Mohamed, we strive to produce a good job and value the communication with clients like you. Speed of execution combined with accuracy is how we like to work. Thanks again.
