SENIOR TEAM

Meet our Senior Team

Tim Watkins Managing Partner Tim’s primary area of expertise is agriculture so he looks after all our farming clients, handling everything from accounts and tax to business advice. As Managing Partner, he can often be found tending to the day-to-day running of the firm, but always has time to speak to clients and help them to achieve their goals.

In his spare time, Tim is the treasurer of the Friends of Gloucester Cathedral, and enjoys travel and running. He’s a lifelong (forever suffering) Leeds United fan!

Ollie Newbold Partner With an eye for a promising opportunity, Ollie leads our Corporate Finance team, securing futures for ambitious businesses and their owners.

He handles company acquisitions and sales, financing, due diligence and valuations.

Out of the office, he loves spending time with his two children – their artwork is often proudly on display at his desk.

James Geary Client Director James is our lead in corporate tax and specialist in R&D tax relief. He also specialises in corporate restructuring, employee share incentives and investment tax reliefs.

He also volunteers for the Chartered Institute of Taxation on one of their technical committees with direct links to policy makers in the government, as well as chairing the local members’ branch.

He can be found playing table tennis with colleagues in his lunch break and out of work he’s a keen stage performer and musical director for stage musicals. Will Abbott Partner Will is partner and head of Management and Business Advisory Services at Randall & Payne. Helping business people achieve success by bringing clarity and commitment to their plans, he works with many sectors to develop and implement strategy.

A dedicated MAMIL he can be seen cycling the highways and byways of Gloucestershire and further afield most weekends.
