Ellen Feetum joins HURST to spearhead new corporate tax offering

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Ellen Feetum to head a new corporate tax compliance offering.

Ellen has joined us as an associate partner from KPMG, where she began her career as a graduate in 2004.

During her career, Ellen has worked with clients ranging from start-ups to large listed groups turning over more than £2bn, in sectors including retailing, manufacturing, distribution and life sciences.

Her role with us will see her lead and spearhead the growth of the new offering, working with colleagues in the tax advisory and business services teams to deliver an integrated service.

As the complexity and size of our corporate client base continues to grow, we have identified the need for a dedicated focus on corporate tax compliance.

It is the latest service line to be launched by our firm, following the appointment of partner Karen Chadwick last year to lead a new private client tax offering to business owners, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals.

Meanwhile, we have expanded our business services team with the arrival of Eve Armstrong, Adam Proud and Will Grimbleby as associates, Siphathisiwe Nyathi as a senior and Tino Banya as a semi-senior.

We are also pleased to announce a series of promotions in the business services team. Aaron Booth, Alex Burgon and Lisa Everett have been promoted to manager and Georgia Hall to associate manager.

Aaron, Georgia and Lisa all joined HURST as trainees and qualified with the firm. Alex has been at HURST since 2018, when he moved from BTG Advisory.

HURST partner Simon Brownbill, our practice development partner, said: “The launch of our corporate tax compliance service is a natural next step in our continued growth and commitment to delivering a fully-integrated tax offering for our clients.

“Ellen’s wealth of experience and deep technical expertise make her the ideal person to lead this new service line. Her arrival, along with the wider expansion of our team, reinforces our strategy of attracting top-tier talent from both Big Four and regional firms while continuing to develop and promote from within.

“We’re excited about the value this new service will bring to our entrepreneurial client base.”
