"Things are going well with Albion, a piece I really like with them is the ability to get them running an in depth comparison of a prospective client’s existing portfolio vs ours.  Even just seeing the scale of data that is gathered and analysed really puts new prospects at ease. Even if the margins are small between existing and ours, the effort is appreciated by prospective clients and it shows them we are serious about evidencing our approach  We can really go toe to toe with anyone on this front now, which lets me focus on building a good relationship instead."
