A passionate interest in film making dating back to early childhood led to Ken building a sizable client base in the Film and TV sector during his time as an Audit Manager and Associate at Sinclair Wood & Co.
Since joining Stewart Gilmour & Co, Ken has built up extensive knowledge of the accounting and tax issues affecting the firm’s many agricultural clients. He has been instrumental in developing sophisticated IT systems within the company to improve efficiency and has overseen the expansion of the practice into new industry sectors including media and renewable energy.
