Daren Moore, Group Chief Executive Officer, said: “With ambitious plans for growth for The TaxAssist Group over the next five years, we have made some organisational changes to ensure the plans move forward. 

“We have introduced a Group Operational Board, which will take on some of the functions of Group Board and will be responsible for looking after much of the day to day running of our group businesses. This will support collaboration and decision making between different parts of our business. The membership of this new Board will consist of existing Group Board members, the Managing Directors of our individual group companies and two of our senior team members.  

“We are delighted to announce that Andy Gibbs has been promoted to Director of Services and will be part of this new structure. Andy has done a fantastic job for the network and for the group over the years and will be taking on responsibility for our payroll and tax consulting businesses, as well as continuing to look after our technical helpdesk function. 

“We are also pleased that Richard Washington will be joining the new Operational Board, giving us access to his IT and technology expertise and helping us to deliver a number of critical group projects.
