Neville Beckhurst - Partner

Neville joined Plummer Parsons after working for more than 25 years at Eastbourne chartered accountants Honey Barrett, 20 years of which as a partner. He is a director and Honorary Treasurer of the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce.

His interests are in helping businesses in a wide range of areas and with years of experience he has a wealth of knowledge to draw on. More specifically he has extensive knowledge in dealing with the sale and purchase of private companies and the minimisation of tax liabilities. This will also involve preparing clients for a sale through strategic and profit planning. He advises private individuals and families on a whole spectrum of family and private matters of importance to them such as succession planning, tax planning and handling probate matters. He has a wealth of experience advising on all issues clients may face in relation to both wealth management, preservation and other events of life.
Away from the office Neville relaxes by cycling, including cycling for charity, keeping fit and can often be seen at Twickenham watching the rugby having been a former player at Eastbourne Rugby Club.

Andrew Griffiths – Charity Client Director

After being educated at Eastbourne Grammar School, Andrew qualified and joined Plummer Parsons in 1984. Over the years Andrew has had many "general practice" clients but latterly he has specialised in charities and private client work; he is a member of the Taxation faculty of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and Association of Charity Independent Examiners. He has also passed the Diploma in Charity Accounting, being one of less than 200 people who have obtained this qualification by experience. Andrew has enjoyed a variety of sport, rugby, athletics, badminton - more active in participation in his younger years, but he still maintains that interest now.
