Finance Director
I haven’t always been a specialist tax accountant. In my mid twenties I was a member of Friends of the Earth, worked in forestry for love of conservation and I have been a vegetarian since 1988. My daughter, now in her twenties, often reminds me that there’s more to life than being a successful business owner. So as part of our corporate and social responsibility drive I sought to adopt a worthy charitable cause. Changing Streams was the obvious choice: active in the plastic debate, looking to save our oceans and revolutionise the built environment: what a proposition and challenge!
Synergies for positive change are often borne out of wide spectrum strategic partnerships of alternative thinkers, technical specialists, researchers, innovators, facilitators and influencers. That’s what we have in our alliance.
In my daily professional life, as a leading R&D Tax Relief specialist and business owner in national accountancy firm Haines Watts , I work with businesses, many of whom are implementing new green technologies, delivering sustainable procurement and environmentally friendly solutions. My varied sector background before becoming an accountant in my late thirties, my love of lateral thinking and my open-mindedness make me an eclectic problem solver. I love new paradigms and that is what Changing Streams is all about. The ability to mitigate both risk and cost whilst allowing people to run faster with their holy grail projects and continue to dream big is very rewarding. I am a firm believer in exponential networking and this complemented with an ability to deliver is what makes the Changing Streams mission a vital & powerful cog in a global movement for positive, sustainable change.
