Meet the Team
Our service can only be as good as our people. That’s why we invest in the development of all our staff, at all levels.
With 9 dedicated personnel we can bring a host of expertise across many different industry sectors and areas of specialism. Unlike many practices where there are one or two personnel that you never get to see, we are structured in partner-led teams which are supported by specialist teams in areas such as tax, corporate finance and Pension & Investments.
The benefit for our clients is that they can have easy and regular access to their dedicated consultant and their team, plus the peace of mind that there is a depth of knowledge in key areas should they need it.
