Highly recommended
We have been using Kene Partners for many years now to submit our annual R&D claims. The process is always handled both efficiently and professionally and the refunds received as a result of the process make it very worth while.

Does what it says on the tin ..... a very professional and efficient company who clearly know their stuff. Lu was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with, and ultimately managed to get a very successful outcome for us. Thanks also to Doug and the rest of the team for liaising with HMRC to get things progressed when they became stalled

Genuine no brainer
Genuine no brainer. At first it seemed too good to be true but we spoke to Arwyn and Tom who managed the process seamlessly. It resulted in us getting a good chunk of cash back, which was hugely useful as we were at the start of our journey. Look forward to working with them again in the future.

Great company to work with...........
We have worked with a previous R&D claim company but moved to Kene 2 years ago, and have found them to be very thorough and professional.
Gabrielle has been great to work with in both years, with Maike the first year and Jack the second year backing her up.
Would definately recommend them.

Amazing company with great staff
Amazing company with great staff; they made an enormous contribution while we were preparing technical reports before the submission. Our main contact, Tom, has built great communication between the teams, and our consultant, Katerina, has led us to prepare our reports in the most time-efficient way possible.

An absolutely fantastic company!
An absolutely fantastic company! I highly recommend Kene. Partners to anyone who is making an R&D claim. Our main point of contact was Ruari who was beyond helpful, friendly and supported us throughout the whole process. Joe spent a decent amount of time going through the products that we are developing and was genuinely interested in what we are doing. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. All of the team members that we had the pleasure of dealing with were amazing all the way through what is a long and confusing process. They are always just a phone call away and ready to answer all questions; if they're not available immediately they don't take long to get back to you.
