Wilson Wright, the City-based accountancy, tax and business advisory firm, has continued to grow its tax team with the appointment of Neil Lancaster.

Neil has been appointed as the firm’s newest Tax Partner, based on his experience in assisting high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and their families in managing and structuring their business and personal affairs to preserve and grow their wealth.

With 20 years of experience, he has a deep knowledge of tax and is respected for acting as a commercial sounding board for his clients advising them on their commercial and personal plans and aspirations.

His considerable knowledge and experience includes non-domiciled legislation, offshore and onshore trusts, inheritance tax planning, succession planning and structuring developed during his time as a Partner and in previous roles that he held in Big Four firms.

Speaking about his appointment, Neil said: “I am delighted to be joining the Wilson Wright tax team at such an exciting time in the history of the practice.

The tax team is very impressive, and I am certain that together we will be able to advise and support clients with their goals and ambitions at this important time.”

This latest appointment by Wilson Wright follows its recent merger with BKL and is part of the group’s wider ambitions to become one of the leading tax advisory practices for Owner Managed Businesses and HNWIs.

The firm already has a considerable number of high-net-worth clients, including some of the UK’s best-known entrepreneurs, who rely on the practice’s discreet advice to carefully manage their tax affairs.

Craig Nicholson, the group’s Head of Tax, said: “Neil is an excellent addition to our team. His knowledge and dedication to his clients is outstanding and he shares the same ethos that our entire tax team has when it comes to servicing our clients and their unique tax planning requirements.”

BKL’s CEO, Lee Brook added: “We are really pleased to have secured this highly-regarded expert to bolster our already exceptional tax team.

It is great to see the investment made in bringing together two outstanding firms in BKL and Wilson Wright starting to pay off so quickly. We will continue to build on this success and we have high hopes for the future of tax within our group.”
