Dafydd Ford, who has been with the firm for over 15 years, has been promoted to Tax Associate. Dafydd has experience advising clients across a broad range of sectors and has used that experience to identify key tax planning opportunities for many clients over the years. He has particular expertise in areas such as property tax, investment tax relief and research and development tax relief.

I have been able to take opportunity after opportunity to thrive and hone my skills into key specialisms. I am excited to begin this year in my new role.”

Fellow colleagues Sandy Gaywood and Diane Nettleton have been promoted to Senior Tax Managers.
