Old Mill hires new VAT team head

Old Mill has announced the appointment of Len Dean, who led the Indirect Tax practice at PwC Scotland for six years, as its new senior advisor for its VAT team.

In his new role with the south west financial services firm, Dean will assist in growing Old Mill’s tax practice by expanding the VAT team’s capabilities and client offering in the region.

On his new role, Dean said: “I am looking forward to working with many of the superb clients Old Mill already has and adding more, helping them cut through the complexity of VAT and get the best out of their VAT position so they can focus on and achieve their business objectives.”

David Maslen, head of tax at Old Mill said: “With so many new challenges as a result of Brexit, VAT advice has become more important than ever, and Len’s appointment is part of our strategic plan to provide the very best VAT advice to our clients.

“He is one of the best in the business; his expertise and knowledge will be a huge asset, significantly enhancing the specialist advice we offer our clients, plus, having started his career in the West Country, he is already well-connected in the local area.”

He added: “What is just as important to us, is Len’s experience in building and developing teams. We have a talented VAT team at Old Mill and I look forward to seeing all our VAT staff flourish under Len’s leadership.”
