BRIAN R. WARNEFORD

Partner

Brian qualified in 1972 as a Chartered Accountant. He prefers the daily personal contact with clients and far more rewarding is being able to help a small business with their accountancy and tax problems.

Over the years Brian has advised large companies and acted as financial director for a firm of pharmaceutical distributors.

Outside work Brian enjoys reading, listening to music and going to live music events. He still has one remaining ambition - finding the perfect pub.
