I left university and worked at The Inland Revenue for 10 years.

Having been trained and taught how the Inspectors of Taxes operated, I left to join Arthur Andersen & Co, then one of the Big Four accountancy firms in the world.

After further intensive training and experience for a further seven years, I ran the Tax Dept at Kidsons Impey for three years.

Following a merger, I was made redundant, and set up Capital Consultants in Feb 1992.

Advice given to a client from the USA, saved him £3m in tax per year.

Another wealthy client took my advice and moved to Switzerland, avoiding payment of all UK tax.

Most of the clients are less fortunate but are delighted with my successes in saving them taxes.
