I have used and will continue to use Simon Darby as the go to person in Insolvency matters for extremely fast personal service of statutory demands and petitions and other court documents as well as tracing the whereabouts of debtors. He is always available and willing to go the extra mile to help. There are no forms to complete and a simple email gets the job up and running quickly.

On numerous occasions, he has arranged for urgent documents to be served within hours, regardless of where they need to be served in the UK and beyond. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.
