S&W has expanded its business tax practice in the North West with the appointment of Andy Nixon as partner in its Manchester-based R&D tax team. The firm said the strategic hire reflects its “commitment to investing in specialist expertise and delivering exceptional value to clients across the region”.
Nixon brings over a decade of experience advising technology and financial services businesses on complex R&D tax credit claims.
He previously worked at leading firms including Deloitte, EY, and Grant Thornton, where he supported companies in navigating the complexities of R&D tax relief and maximising opportunities for growth.
Donna Bulmer, north regional managing partner at S&W, said: “Andy’s appointment is a significant step in strengthening our tax capabilities in the North West. His deep technical knowledge and proven track record advising businesses on R&D tax reliefs, will enable us to deliver even greater support to clients in this dynamic and fast-evolving area.
“We’re delighted to welcome him to the team and look forward to the positive impact his expertise will have on our people and on businesses across the region.”
Nixon added: “I’m excited to join S&W and help businesses across the North West unlock the full potential of R&D tax incentives. Innovation is critical to growth, and with the UK now ranked among the top global innovation leaders and Greater Manchester driving the fastest productivity growth in the country – there’s never been a better time for businesses to invest in cutting-edge ideas.
“My focus will be on helping clients navigate complex claims and maximise opportunities available to them.”
