"We commenced our association with Chapman Eastway in about 1989, through the recommendation of friends Nick and Julia Burton Taylor, when we, Charlie & Pip Merriman and our children, Karina & Jono, separated from the family business. Chapman Eastway through Stuart Black and then Andrew Carter have been a great help in both commencing our business CT Merriman & Son and helping us set up the business structures for then, now and into the future. They have always been very mindful of our ever changing needs as our children grow up, through the tough drought years as well as the good years. We certainly appreciated their continual help and support to all members of our family, and their understanding of our mainly rural enterprises. We also like the way Chapman Eastway explain options, and give the pros and cons on the directions we are thinking of going. We feel very confident that Chapman Eastway are very well informed and up to date on tax and Government rulings, and Stuart’s knowledge, understanding and contacts during his years as the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in 2005. We feel that Chapman Eastway, through Stuart and Andrew and their staff have always been professional, thorough and informative with ideas and suggestions for current and future plans. They are very accessible and approachable, and give well grounded advice and are easy to talk to and work with."

"Woodland Home Products is a complex & diverse company involved in many aspects of local and overseas trade including precision sheet-metal contracting, shopfloor assembly, import, export, warehousing, distribution & brand-building. An array of divisions with various disciplines, some including multi-currency transactions, render the accounting and finance function quite challenging. Having in recent times taken on the challenge of restructuring and fine tuning the group Chapman Eastway have done an outstanding job of pulling it all together. Their attention to detail, reliability and professionalism has generated peace of mind, the confidence and necessary tools for the group to face the challenges of a global market. I’d have no hesitation in acting as a reference for Chapman Eastway."

"I&S is a third generation family company operating in the rigid packaging industry. The company is celebrating its 76th year in business in 2010 and in no small way owes its ongoing success in a very competitive market to the excellent service provided by Chapman Eastway. Chapman Eastway have been the company advisers for the last 20 years and in that time have provided not only accountancy services but invaluable advise over a number of areas including tax planning, wealth building, land development to name but a few. Their integrity is beyond question and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any corporation or other families seeking a trusted advisor.”
