Peter has been at the very top of the R&D Tax Credit industry for a number of years now. Having begun his career at the largest R&D Tax Credit provider, Peter has gone on to break every record that has been set within the industry.

By now he has delivered more than £20mil+ of funding for British businesses, in that short period of time, and has been recognised as the top individual within this space, across a number of sectors. Indeed, Peter's specialisation lies in the engineering sector: delivering successful claims for construction, engineering and M&E companies in the FTSE 100 and SME market.

Much of Peter's success has come down to his ability to build relationships and deliver successful results, placing him as one of the most well-known names in the industry.

Mark has been working in R&D Tax Credits ever since his graduation from the University of Oxford. As one of the first people to begin working on agriculture claims in the UK, Mark has developed a wide network of clients within the farming community, through which he has continued to help others within the industry. 

Over the last three years, he has worked with over 250 farms – whose turnover ranges from 200k to 100mil+ - to help them access the R&D Tax Credit benefit, to the total tune of £10 mil. 

Outside of farming, the rest of Mark's client base is spread out between engineering, renewable energy and software companies (with a particular focus on blockchain and AI).

Prior to working in R&D Tax Credits, Gregg spent three years working at Thales – a leading engineering company, specialising in aerospace, transportation and global security.  Initially Gregg worked as a graduate mechanical design engineer on the €1bn 4LM (four lines modernisation) London Underground driverless resignalling project, before becoming a lead mechanical design engineer on the NLE (northern line extension) project, extending the Northern line, as a part of the Battersea power station redevelopment scheme. 

Gregg’s academic background paved a natural progression towards R&D Tax credits; he studied for an MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Advanced Design & Innovation, at the University of Bath, where he graduated with First Class Honours.

Charlie's background prior to working within the R&D Tax Credit world has been in the equine industry, where he has advised owners on a wide range of issues impacting on the keeping and management of horses. As such, his portfolio mainly consists of large equestrian businesses, stud farms, training yards, as well as veterinary practices and agricultural businesses. Charlie's links to the equine industry allow him to specialise within it and grow his client base through a close knit network, which he has developed.

Up to date, he has been instrumental in helping equine yards receive an R&D benefit, with a 100% success rate.

James has over 4 years of experience within the R&D industry having previously been Associate Partner at one of the largest consulting houses within the innovation incentives space. In his previous role, James managed a team focusing on a number of sectors, notably within life sciences and engineering. Alongside this, James was responsible for analysing industry trends and legislation changes in order to identify new markets that would be eligible for the R&D incentive, thus helping to increase awareness of this valuable relief.

James' success comes from establishing successful links with business owners and accountants alike, as he helps to ensure all clients make the most of the innovation incentives available for their industry.

Bajram’s academic background has naturally lent itself to propel his career into the world of R&D Tax Credits. Bajram holds an MEng in Medical Materials with Industrial Experience, from Queen Mary (University of London), where he graduated with First Class Honours. This paved his way for a PhD, at the same institution, during which he looked at the development of methodologies to investigate the Interactions of Tin Ions During Hydroxyapatite Demineralisation; in particular Bajram focused on developing methodologies to study the demineralisation process.

Bajram’s time in industry followed similar suit; in particular the time he spent working at Pfizer, where he analysed the performance of novel drug delivery devices, focusing on improving their optimal quality.

This combination of academic and industry experience has allowed Bajram to understand both the theoretical workings of his clients’ R&D, as well as the real world, commercial application of it – thus placing him in the best position to help them obtain the financial benefits associated with innovation.

Hugo graduated with a First Class in History from the University of Oxford, before completing a Master’s in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has sought out a broad base of knowledge and experience to build upon, such as working in Parliament and setting up summer schools in India and Singapore.

Hugo is driven by work that has a tangible real world impact. When working for Fieldfisher LLP on the Independent Inquiry into CSA, he undertook work for hearings that sought to address and help rectify the wrongs and injustices of the past. Looking to move away from the legal world, when the opportunity arose to work with RCK Partners, Hugo saw it as the perfect job to continue in this vein and deliver benefits to businesses around the UK.

Having begun his journey with RCK on the client relationship side, Hugo quickly moved into a consulting role, where he has since helped numerous businesses successfully apply for the R&D Tax Credit incentive.

Oury’s financial knowledge, combined with the technical expertise, has given him the a great platform to help his portfolio with all aspects of an R&D Tax Credit claim.

Freddie has over five years’ experience within the R&D Tax Credits field, having previously worked at the UK’s largest provider of innovation funding. During this time, he has helped countless companies, across a multitude of sectors – from Engineering and Construction, to Agriculture and Software – claim back well over £20 million.

Freddie’s success, in part, has come from his ability to nurture and grow relationships with the firm’s accountancy partners: an exercise he has pioneered within the industry. Freddie’s belief that by working alongside accountants to add value to their client base, rather than competing against them, has meant that he has created successful partnerships with over 100 accountancies across the UK – helping their clients obtain the various forms of government funding available to them. Indeed, this has been instrumental not just to the company, but to the industry as a whole, with many of the other providers implementing Freddie’s model.
