Managers

James Peach BSc ACA (jap@clbgatwick.co.uk)
James originally joined Durrani, Pannett & Co in February 2000, having graduated from Manchester University with a degree in Geography and Geology.  James qualified with Durrani, Pannett & Co and left in March 2003 to join Creaseys in Tunbridge Wells to broaden his experience.  James was persuaded to re-join in September 2005, after the formation of CLB Gatwick LLP.  He is our current Audit Manager, dealing with some of the largest clients in the Practice.  James tries very hard to keep us ‘technically’ up-to-date, something which he largely succeeds.  He does though have a portfolio of smaller clients to ensure that he is able to deal with issues across the spectrum of the accounting world.

Jane Hoad (jhoad@clbgatwick.co.uk)
Jane joined the Reigate Office in June 1988.  Jane looks after a portfolio of clients who particularly require day-to-day assistance with their accounting and Management Accounting programs.  She is an expert in the application of Quickbooks and Sage Line 50.  This not only includes the day-to-day maintenance of these programs but the development of the client’s accounting systems, including particularly day-to-day stock control and automatic invoicing therefrom.

Keith Francis (kfrancis@clb.co.uk)
Keith acts as Manager of our dedicated tax department, who are responsible for the production of annual tax returns and tax advice to 500 clients.  Keith worked for Callingham Crane in Leatherhead for 10 years and after a short period of seeking the right post, joined CLB in Reigate in 1992.
