About
I joined CRM after finishing school in July 2004, qualifying in early 2010 and then become a director in April 2020, just as the Covid pandemic hit! In addition to performing all the normal tasks such as accounts and tax, I have always been involved in and led the implementation of systems/processes at CRM, including assisting with IT issues the team have!Away from work I enjoy most sports but in particular my passion is for football, where not only playing but I am also involved with running a local football club and a local football league.

What does the post-Brexit VAT landscape look like?
The ‘honeymoon’ transition period following the UK’s official departure from the European Union in January 2020, with no trade borders or customs formalities and VAT systems remaining the same, has now come to an end.
