Stuart Wilkinson, Head of Tax at EY in the East, said: “Cambridge and the East of England region is home to many listed and private businesses and the tax issues that they face are increasingly complex. I am pleased to be adding additional senior resource to our local tax team at a time when demand for a range of specialist tax services is growing.”

Nick Gomer, Managing Partner at EY in the East, said: “We have big ambitions for our regional practice in the East and we continue to recruit to meet the demands of our clients, with a renewed focus on the regional mid-market where we see the most opportunity for growth.”
