Trade compliance is no longer an administrative function. It is a critical boardroom vulnerability.
The Threat
The Intervention
With HMRC deploying aggressive data analytics and advanced TRE systems, a single misclassified supply chain variable can instantly trigger a multi-six-figure historic liability.
I partner directly with executive leadership teams (£1M - £250M revenue) to turn customs from a hidden operational risk into a well-governed, strategic advantage. I mitigate your exposure, recover trapped capital, and build internal capability that withstands absolute regulatory scrutiny.
Services
The Three Pillars of Strategic Intervention
1
HMRC Audit & C18 Defence
Immediate, evidence-led intervention to manage your HMRC customs assessment dispute, engage regulators, and defend your balance sheet.
2
Historic Duty Reclaim
Forensic audits of your supply chain to identify retrospective customs claims, recovering overpaid duty and returning trapped capital to your business.

Board-Level Risk Reviews
Designing scalable, future-ready compliance architectures and conducting independent trade compliance audits to eliminate hidden liabilities.
Boardroom Authority. Institutional Pedigree.
When navigating severe regulatory scrutiny, your business requires the certainty of direct, high-level expertise. Rather than your defence being delegated through the tiers of a traditional advisory structure, I provide uncompromised, individual accountability. You work directly with a CTA (Fellow) from start to finish.
As a CTA (Fellow) and former Senior Manager at Big 4 firms (EY, PwC), I bring elite corporate rigour to the mid-market. Having built the global customs architecture for Costa Coffee (a Coca-Cola company) and serving as an advisor to the BBC and LexisNexis, I deliver the exact commercial certainty your executive team demands.
