I have worked in R&D tax since 2022 which has allowed me to gain valuable insights to a wide range of industries. With an Economics degree, I have been able to use my quantitative and qualitative abilities to good use to support both small and large businesses with their R&D claims. Outside of work, I am either around family and friends, or on a European city break.

I have worked in R&D tax since 2022, where I have gained insights into a variety of industries and the UK tax system. My experience is further supported by my current undertaking of the ATT qualification, of which I am halfway through.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time socialising with family and friends, and attending gigs and festivals, when I am lucky enough to get tickets!

Since August 2016 I have set up, and led from the front, two centres of tax excellence, delivering in excess of £100 million tax relief and assisting companies to fund their innovation journey. I engage with HMRC at an operational and strategic level. Outside work I am a keen juggler and enjoy walking holidays.

I’ve worked as a technical writer and business analyst since 1999, and in R&D tax as a technical consultant since 2019. Over that time I’ve gained insights into many different sectors, from their best innovators. I’m a Fellow of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators. I’ve also been a financial journalist, author, occasional broadcaster and peer-reviewed researcher. I’m bilingual with French and I’m a dad to one amazing daughter. Outside work hours I play in a band and have a small psychotherapy practice.

I have a degree in Economics from the University of Chester, graduating in 2025 and quickly moving onto working in R&D tax. Through my degree I have developed my quantitative and qualitative skills, among others, which I utilise daily through all aspects of R&D claims. As a tax associate I help businesses navigate their R&D claims, helping them understand the process and receive all benefits available to them. Outside of work I enjoy going to the gym or watching live sport: football or rugby league most often.
