We are delighted to announce the promotion of Derek Gemmell to Corporate Tax Director.
Derek trained originally as an accountant and auditor qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1997 before moving to Aberdeen to specialise in tax. Qualifying as a Chartered Tax Adviser in 2002, Derek joined the firm as a Senior Tax Manager in January 2008 and has since then provided specialist tax advice to the firm’s clients.
With his depth of experience on many areas of taxation, more recently Derek has spent an increasing amount of time advising Entrepreneurs on the taxes they find themselves exposed to as a result of their entrepreneurial activities. Additionally, he continues to work closely with his Corporate Finance colleagues to assist with all the tax aspects of corporate transactions.
Gill Pryde, Head of Taxation, commented “By enhancing the leadership of the tax team, we are confident that this director appointment will further strengthen our client service delivery. Derek has a broad range of skills and he is committed to helping clients with advice and solutions. We wish Derek well in this challenging role.”
