Smith & Williamson, the accountancy and investment management group, is delighted to announce that Peter Treadgold has joined the firm’s Salisbury office as a director. He brings more than 20 years’ experience in the bloodstock and equine sector having advised on the accountancy and business matters facing owners, breeders, trainers and others working in the industry.

“I am excited to be joining Smith & Williamson and thoroughly look forward to further developing the firm’s bloodstock and equine practice. I have long felt that Smith & Williamson is the natural home for a specialist bloodstock team since this naturally sits alongside the agricultural and landed estates sector where

Smith & Williamson has a long-established reputation,” said Peter.

He added: “I have been interested in racing and bloodstock since a young age and also really enjoy working with small and medium sized businesses. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to be able to combine these areas in my professional life.”

Peter joins Penelope Lang who was appointed as a tax director in the Salisbury office earlier this year. Peter and Penelope will work closely together with the firm’s agricultural specialists to provide a broad range of services covering accountancy, business, tax and financial advice to the sector.

Peter began his career with Coopers & Lybrand (which subsequently merged with Pricewaterhouse Coopers). Before joining Smith & Williamson, he spent five years at James Cowper’s Newbury office where he led the bloodstock and equine practice and also worked alongside tax specialist Penelope Lang.

Salisbury’s bloodstock and equine team of specialists advise on:

  • business structure and planning
  • audit, accountancy and compliance with relevant statutes
  • the ownership of land and related assets to optimise a client’s fiscal position and preserve wealth for the next generation
  • business and personal tax compliance and planning, including dealing with enquiries from HMRC
  • VAT advice and planning
