Sean Turner and Richard Singleton

I am a Senior Manager in the Menzies VAT team covering all aspects of VAT advisory, but with a specialism in transport and logistics and the international movement of goods, also encompassing customs duties.

My focus is on advising clients on the day to day VAT implications of their business operations and adding value where opportunities arise, particularly when dealing with international supply chains.

During my time at Menzies, the period before and after Brexit saw me having to deal with all manner of questions and scenarios, that we were able to handle and provide advice on, using a combination of overseas advisors within our International network, whilst leaning on my contact network in the transport and customs brokerage industry, to provide clients with sensible and relevant advice in order to negotiate uncertain times.

Outside of work, football takes over, being a season ticket holder at Charlton Athletic for many years, plus watching my two sons play and daughter compete at Irish dancing. If you require advice on any VAT implications for your business, please do get in touch.

Richard Singleton

I am the Finance & Sustainability Director at Menzies looking after the internal finance department, and am part of Menzies’ strategic advisory division.

During my time with Menzies, I have worked closely with business owners to understand their objectives and help design ESG strategies to enhance their competitive advantage, increase top and bottom line growth, improve stakeholder engagement, and create supply chain robustness whilst maintaining strong financial controls and performance.

I have been fortunate enough to have some great experiences in my time at Menzies, with one of my proudest moments being the time that I received the 35 under 35 award from Accountancy Age. However, launching an ESG advisory offering is a huge move for the firm and the sector in general, which I am proud of.

There are a number of things in my life that bring me joy, but I really enjoy my food, both cooking and eating, and this is a real passion of mine. I also enjoy watching rugby with friends and spending as much time with my family as I can.

If you require assistance with your ESG strategy, please do reach out to me via email.
