G4S
Sector: Private Finance Initiative
Working with: Paul Bailey, Faren Vincent and the team at Goodman Jones.
Andrew Holland, Head of SPV Finance, and Laura Burns, SPV Finance Manager, G4S Integrated Services (UK) Ltd
What challenge or opportunity led you to seek advice?
G4S moved from a larger firm whose service no longer met expectations. Recommendations highlighted Goodman Jones’s success with similar contracts. Discussions with Paul Bailey confirmed alignment on fees, approach and pragmatism.
How did Goodman Jones help?
Consistency of personnel (Paul Bailey and Faren Vincent) has been central, particularly given the complexity of PFI structures. The team takes a collaborative approach, listening to the client’s views and finding practical ways forward, supported by open post-audit feedback.
What results or benefits have you seen?
Accounts have never been signed off late, meeting the tight lender deadlines inherent in PFI contracts. The team describes the relationship as the strongest they have experienced with an auditor.
What do you value most about working with us?
Open, constructive conversations and recognition of the quality of G4S’s processes and accounts. The relationship is professional yet human, with time given to understand issues properly.
Goodman Jones
Paul is extremely personable and easy to reach directly. He takes time to listen and supports getting our accounts into the best state, so the relationship feels supportive rather than adversarial.
Faren’s consistency has been crucial. She holds open feedback calls, listens and helps us navigate PFI complexities, and her collaborative approach underpins the working relationship.
