Leeds-based Incasso LLP, the Debt Recovery specialists, has been given a top ranking in the latest edition of Chambers & Partners UK Guide.

For the first time, the authors of the guide put the firm at the head of the debt recovery league in Yorkshire.

Chambers commented: “The market spoke favourably of this practice’s excellent recovery rates, ‘professional and honest’ outlook and ‘accessibility’ in dealing with each stage of the debt recovery process. The 40-strong team is divided in three to provide services in trace, legal and collections, including recourse to insolvency procedures and winding-up orders.

”Incasso offers a sophisticated online Internet instruction service and individually tailored consultancy sessions that were ‘so good’, according to one client, ‘the firm’s training was immediately recommended to senior management’.

“In the past twelve months, the firm has increased its fees turnover by more than a third through growing its client base and receiving additional instructions from existing clients.”

The firm is also celebrating another first - a record turnover figure of £1.2m for the first half of the year. This is 30% up on the corresponding period a year ago. It is now well on track to meet its target for this financial year ending April 2007. Last April it broke through the £2m barrier for the first time.

Incasso LLP said: “It’s very gratifying to see Chambers acknowledging our success and also to see our fee income growing so quickly. To have come so far from virtually nothing 11 years ago is absolutely fantastic. We are now reaping the rewards of all our hard work over the years.

“Chambers’ recognition demonstrates that our brand and reputation are both really well established in the market place and that we are seen as a major player in the sector.

“It shows that we really have differentiated ourselves by adding significant value to our clients in a variety of ways.”
