bunsiness bank recommendation please

I've a new business, we've been trading since June & the account is in credit. It'll never go ionto negative money so I don't need a bank account with an overdraft facility, neither do I need one with a credit card attached. I need to be able to do internet banking and pay in cheques. A bank with the a long period of free banking would be great, but the ability to do paperwork CORRECTLY and send out info and forms when requested within a timely manner is ESSENTIAL.

Our projected income for next 12 months is £120,000.
can anyone recommend a bank account please (NOT Barclays, I'm moving from there thanks to their complete ability to run a business bank account correctly.)

    Can't say I've ever had a problem with lloyds business banking. If you're turning over £120k, is fee-free banking really such a big deal? We're talking about a fiver or so a month, usually. If £60 on a turnover of £120000 is a deal-breaker, your margins are too thin!!

    I would recommend Cater Allen bank, despite them being part of the Santander group, they havethe best customer service I have ever encountered from a bank.

    If you ring them, you get a human being who can action your requests, I just wish whoever trained them would train Santander staff.
