I am committed to delivering clear, pragmatic solutions that add value and support informed business decisions.

What makes CARS great…

What makes CARS a great place to work is the opportunity. For me it’s been a fantastic journey building an indirect tax department, supporting the offices across the UK and working with businesses that face a wide range of indirect tax issues.

On a Saturday morning, you’ll usually find me engaged in some project, whether it’s DIY around the home or rebuilding a Series 3 Land Rover. During the summer months you might catch me attempting to play golf.
