Sophie Essex-Masmoudi

Marketing and Business Development Manager

Experience

I joined Dafferns 9 years ago and I’m responsible for the planning and implementation of the marketing and business development activity. From developing and implementing effective marketing communication campaigns, managing social media, delivering an events programme, being responsible for the brand, the website and ensuring correct use of the CRM database and data.

I have over 12 years experience within marketing and business development, mainly in professional services, building my experience and knowledge of the full marketing mix in a continuously changing industry. I work closely with the leadership team and all the firms’ departments including corporate, business services, tax and Dafferns Wealth.

Hobbies and interests

I enjoy travelling, photography, reading a variety of genres in English and French, listening to podcasts, shopping. I also like yoga, nice coffee and good food.

There’s still time to join us Thursday morning for the @icaew Midlands: Career Journey – Transition to Partner event with @wrighthassall, @dafferns, Handelsbanken, Emily Ball-Goldfinch, Brian Jukes, Freya Summers, Dani Coe and Karen Claydon.

If you're aiming for partnership, wondering if it’s the right next step in your career or supporting others on that path, you won’t want to miss it.

Hear directly from those who’ve made the leap to partner as they share honest insights, lessons learned, and what they wish they’d known along the way...

Our very own Emily and Brian from team Dafferns will be chairing and speaking at the event!

Say hello to the Dafferns Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers Skydive Team!

(L-R) Luke Horne, Suzi Kaur, Emily Ball-Goldfinch, James Smithyman, Emily Hall, Sam Allison.

When Matt Whitehouse from The Lily Mae Foundation visited us back in February to share more about the amazing work the charity does and how they raise funds, he mentioned a skydive… and here we are!

These six brave (and perhaps just a little bit crazy!) colleagues are preparing to jump out of a plane, all to raise funds for @lilymae070210

We’re so proud of them and will be cheering them on every step of the way!

If you would like to support them and donate, please head over to our @justgiving page. Every little bit helps!

Pictured is our leadership team. Why?

Because they have walked the walk, so now Brian Jukes is going to talk the talk on the tax implications of becoming a partner in a partnership model firm.

He will be joined by Freya Summers for legal guidance, as well as Karen Claydon and Dani Coe to explore the finance options available.

If you’re aiming for partnership or open to the idea, this event is for you. There will also be networking and breakfast at this free event, so why wouldn’t you be there?

Thursday 19 June from 9am to 11.30am
Venue: Wright Hassall, Royal Leamington Spa, CV34 6BF

Register now to join @icaew Midlands, @wrighthassall, @handelsbankenuk, and us!
