Most crucially, all our services are partner-led, we are big enough to be able to offer the full spectrum of services, but not too big that our partners
cannot have oversight and guidance over every aspect.

Having qualified in 1990, I have been advising clients as a partner in practice since 1995. Iʼm equally at home providing tax advice to an individual or transaction support to a large owner-managed business. My technical knowledge covering a range of business sectors
is bolstered by the practical experience of running a business of my own.
Away from the office, I enjoy spending time with friends at museums, galleries and the cinema, with The Proms and The London Film Festival being annual highlights. I also enjoy regular walks around Londonʼs parks, with Richmond Park being my favourite and most convenient.
Iʼm a seasoned Chartered Accountant and Director at Porter Garland. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2003 and have since built over two decades of experience in advising a broad and diverse portfolio of corporate clients.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong, long-term relationships, giving me deep insight into multiple business sectors, including property, consultancy/freelancers, retail, and manufacturing. I believe in ʻnurturing your growthʼ and Iʼm passionate about supporting my clients as if their business was my own.
Away from the office, I value family life highly. I enjoy walking, gardening, dining out, swimming, and holidaying with my wife and daughter.
