Podcast Episode 10 – Reflecting on our first 10

Podcast Episode 10 – Reflecting on our first 10 years in AGN International. From Brexit to AI, cowboy boots to sushi – what a journey it’s been!

As we mark 10 years of Dafferns’ membership with AGN International, Martin Gibbs and Brian Jukes reflect on the transformation this partnership has brought, sharing memories and lessons from the last 10 years. Head over to Dafferns.com to listen to episode 10.

AGN International, an association of 200 member firms across nearly 100 countries has truly broadened our perspectives and transformed how we work. This milestone also coincides with Martin's retirement after 26 years as a partner – a fitting moment to look back.

Highlights to date:
Our first (daunting but rewarding) conference in Copenhagen
Becoming Brexit thought leaders – presenting globally and publishing widely-read insights
Leaning on AGN during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical support and knowledge-sharing
Gaining early exposure to AI and ESG trends through international collaboration
Attending 35+ global events and building lasting professional relationships
Helping clients expand internationally via trusted AGN connections
Developing future leaders through AGN’s partner development programmes
Reinforcing our identity as authentic, agile, and connected advisors.

We thank them both for everything, they will be missed but wish them all the very best for the future!

We’re making the most of this beautiful weather and had our annual team BBQ.

Sunshine, laughter, good food and great company – just how we like our team socials!

We may even need to do organise another one before the summer holidays begin…

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!
