My role
I am the Managing Partner for Lovewell Blake based in our Great Yarmouth office. I am also a Tax Partner and I work with individuals and businesses – often described as owner-managed entities. There is generally a focus on capital taxes although I’d say my function goes beyond that and be best described as a family office adviser. I oversee family assets and can advise on how best to structure them to meet family requirements and ensure generational needs are accommodated. This generally results in being exposed to a number of different structures such as companies, LLP’s, partnerships and trusts with input provided on planning as well as compliance requirements such as tax returns and accounts.
About me
The gold standard in tax qualifications is a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) and I obtained membership in 2004 after passing my final exams with high honours. Subsequently, I have passed exams relating to Probate and Estate Administration services. I am married with two children and like to be active. I’ve always had a keen interest in sport although have a preference towards team sports such as football and motorsport. I am a Norwich City fan meaning a roller-coaster of emotion between high and low can be enjoyed on a regular basis!
