I first “met” Darren when I signed up for some accounts courses.  I gained so much from them as he is an excellent tutor, explaining complex topics in a simple but not patronising way. I feel I got to know him during the pandemic when he was there for us – accounts staff, practice managers and anyone else interested in all things accounting – supporting, encouraging and just being there, giving us a safe space in which to air, express and ask.  I gained knowledge enabling me to improve processes, reassurance that we were doing things correctly and confidence to switch on my camera in an online meeting!  I also gained a friend.
