He has a strong and proven track record of working with both corporates and individuals, and this experience means he is ideally placed to provide the broad-based advice that our entrepreneurial, dynamic clients require.”
Trevor Shaw, Business Tax Director, adds: “Our growing client portfolio of medium-sized businesses operating in a diversity of market sectors across the region recognise the value and importance of timely and insightful tax advice, and Tom ‘s high level experience represents a valuable addition to the team in support of this expanding element of our advisory business.”
