After being educated at Bungay, I qualified as a chartered certified accountant in 1985. I spent periods at two Norwich firms before joining Lovewell Blake as a senior manager in 1987 and became a partner in 1995. As partner in charge of the Halesworth office and with a portfolio of clients at Lowestoft, I have a wide range of experience in general practice. I specialise in dealing with the agricultural sector, family companies and business start-ups. Also regularly organising and speaking at seminars. I'm also a keen sportsman and clay pigeon shot and take an active interest in rural issues. I run several old cars and enjoy all aspects of classic cars and motor racing.
