Who am I?

I am a specialist in U.K. Innovation Tax Reliefs and I joined Claritas, Manchester in December 2020. I am a qualified solicitor and I have spent 19 years in private practice in Legal 500 firms before deciding to change career in 2017 into corporate tax relief in 2017. In the last few years I have held senior technical and leadership positions at boutique tax consultancies specialising in Research & Development and the Patent Box tax relief.

When I’m at work

I split my time between working with companies to claim innovation tax reliefs, working with Matt Hodgson to develop the R&D tax relief team in Manchester and working with Claritas on operational projects. I am passionate about business and I love working with clients.

When I’m not in work

I hardly sit down and have a very busy family life. I am married to a solicitor and have a son and a daughter who are both sporty and need ferrying about at weekends. I am a keen equestrian and own two horses; a passion that I share with my daughter. I confess that horses take up much of my time outside work (as well as money!).
