Richard Garrod
Richard started his career with HM Revenue and Customs in 1986, leaving after three years to enter private practice. In 2003, Richard became Partner in Mazars LLP, leading their tax practice across the North of England.
During his time with Mazars, Richard established and led their tax investigation practice, which gave him valuable insight into HMRC strategy and practice. He also acted for a large range of private individuals, and often their business interests too.
