Shorts has appointed Craig Walker as Tax Partner with effect from 1 December, joining existing Tax Partners Chris Chambers, Scott Burkinshaw, and David Robinson and working from the company’s Chesterfield office.
Responding to a decade of sustained growth, the appointment of Shorts’ fourth Tax Partner supports the company’s continued commitment to growing the Tax department and underpins the firm’s continued development and strength.
An experienced Chartered Tax Adviser and member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, Craig has over 20 years’ tax experience at large regional firms and a top 15 firm, and he rejoins Shorts twelve years after previously completing his early tax training at the firm.
An enthusiastic advocate for his hometown of Chesterfield, Craig will advise clients on all areas of UK taxation with a particular focus on Private Client work. Going forward, his role will transition progressively towards taking a more active role in the leadership and strategy of the firm, in particular within the Private Client team as Chris Chambers moves towards retirement.
Craig said “I am thrilled and honoured to be joining the team at Shorts, during such an exciting time in the firm’s growth and history, and I am proud to take this next step on my professional journey. I am very much looking forward to working with the leadership team.”
