Kevin Hancock LLB (Hons) CTA EA
Tax Partner
After gaining a degree in Law, I started my career in the City of London specialising in private client taxation, before working in a number of larger international firms gaining experience in the taxation of large multi-national companies, corporate restructuring and international tax. I then moved into a senior position locally dealing with all aspects of UK taxation before joining Humphrey & Co in 2011. I am a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) and as well as heading up the tax department at Humphrey & Co providing technical advice on all aspects of UK direct taxation and VAT, I am also a qualified US tax practitioner (being authorised to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service as an Enrolled Agent).
Lewis Hampton FCA CTA
Partner
I joined Humphrey & Co in 2010 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser in 2011 and 2017 respectively. I am based in the Eastbourne office and act for a broad range of clients located in different areas of the UK.
I take a proactive approach to assisting clients to ensure they are best prepared to operate their business in the most tax efficient manner. Whilst I enjoy acting for clients in a wide range of business sectors, I have a special interest in a number of areas including the Lloyd’s of London insurance market, financial services and the property sector.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and trying to stay fit through running and a number of different sports.
Emily Smith BSc (Hons) FCA
Partner
I have been with Humphrey & Co since joining in 2009 after graduating from Lancaster University and undertook my training with the firm, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 2012.
Over the years I have provided a range of business and taxation advice for both individual and corporate clients. Whilst based out of our Eastbourne office I am always happy to travel to see clients across the UK.
More recently, as well as continuing to provide general practice services, I specialise in undertaking audits across a wide variety of industries, heading up our audit team, and providing services to not-for-profit clients.
Outside of work you will typically find me running around after my two children entertaining their current interests, trying to squeeze in a gym session, and looking for inspiration for new recipes to try in the kitchen.
