Meet the Team - Gavin Gardiner

Gavin trained with a local practice before moving to the Audit Commission with whom he qualified. After a short return to practice as an Audit Manager specialising in agricultural co-operatives he took over as Finance Director at a major agro-chemicals and veterinary pharmaceuticals distributor. After promotion to Group Finance Director he spent 364 days trying to prevent the eventual receivership of SF Limited.

The next 3 years were spent working with senior management preparing PowerGen Plc for flotation and mentoring staff in adapting to life under accounting, financial, and taxation procedures and requirements relevant to the commercial world.

He relishes the challenges of business and in the last 5 years has seen over £20 Million extracted from client businesses via takeovers and MBO’s.

Gavin has a grown up daughter and lives in St John’s with his wife Cristina. A keen supporter of Worcester Rugby Football Club and a passionate mountaineer he spends most of his spare time climbing or planning trips and has recently returned from and expedition to Peru.
