Billy French founded external services in 2010 to provide the sort of service that he always wanted when working in-house within the utilities, energy and banking sectors. Designed to fill the gap between businesses and their traditional advisors, external services fully accepts the need for traditional advisors, but recognises how their roles will change in the future to become more specialised.
What makes us different?
We believe that our business model is unique, there is no other business doing what we do the way that we do it. By combining legal, accounting, company secretarial and administrative skills with sector and industry experience we can offer multi-faceted support from the start.
How do we do it?
What we do does not always come easily. We believe in developing talented individuals that can specialise in certain areas, but also have a broad knowledge of our other services. The services we provide are so varied that we actively practice what we call boundary management to ensure that we only provide advice and support to the extent that we are competent to do so. It is for this reason that we actively encourage clients to retain their traditional advisors.
How do we work with your team?
At the core of our success has been the ability to dovetail into our clients’ existing teams and work as part of that team.
How do we work with your existing advisors?
Simple, as an extension of your existing team we liaise with your existing advisors from a position of knowledge and understanding, therefore maximising the quality of the advice that you obtain.
Where do we go from here?
We truly believe our business format is the way of the future and would love the opportunity to show you what we can do. Please feel free to contact us for a confidential and no obligation discussion on your potential needs.
Thick, healthy Bull Pizzles are our flagship product and make for an ultra-tasty, satisfying and long-lasting dog chew. They provide exceptional flavour and satisfaction for dogs while helping to prevent gum disease by removing plaque.
Not only are they a 100% natural product, but they’re packed with amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and are free from artificial chemicals, additives and preservatives. Our ultra-grade pizzle sticks are suitable for dogs of any breed, age or size and they provide the same protein and dental health benefits for puppies as they do for adult dogs. Our pizzles are single-ingredient, easily digestible treats made from the highest quality pure grass fed and hormone-free beef. They excel at cleaning dogs teeth while keeping them entertained and they won’t splinter or break apart. The majority of the bully sticks being sold in the UK are made in South Asia where there are very different standards and health regulations to here in the UK, and there is often no safe or controlled monitoring of the manufacturing process. Our pizzle sticks are hand made with love in small batches to strict EU Regulations 142/2011 and 1069/2009 in pristine veterinary inspected and certified premises and exceed each and every health requirement. The quality of our pizzles is both exceptional and consistent. They are safe, they are healthy, they are free of pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, E.Coli and we stand behind them 100%. We’re raising the bar and redefining expectations by introducing an exciting new range of the very highest quality bull pizzles to the UK which exceed all others in every possible way.
