Mark Ward qualified with a large firm in 1989, having previously worked in the tax departments of a small and a medium size firm. He has been lecturing on a wide variety of tax matters for 30 years to qualified practitioners and industry specialists in the UK and overseas. His ability to quickly establish a rapport with his audience, and discuss complex matters in a practical, and understandable style means Mark is much in demand on the lecturing circuit. Mark has the unenviable task of preparing the slideshow for the monthly Professional Tax Update, and likes to add the odd mischievous graphic to lighten the content. Ever in search of an antidote to tax, Mark and his wife are usually found walking their dog through sun, wind and rain.
