Our Core Services:

Summit 17 was founded by Andy Mellor, a seasoned finance professional with over 15 years of experience as a Board-level Finance Director and CFO. Andy recognised a unique opportunity to offer high-level financial expertise and experience to companies that typically couldn't afford such services. This insight led to the birth of Summit 17, bridging the gap between SMEs and top-tier financial guidance.
