Crowe Clark Whitehill has announced the passing of partner Tim Norkett, national head of private clients.
Mr Norkett, one of Crowe Clark Whitehill’s longest-serving members of staff and an integral part of the accountancy firm since he joined in 1987, passed away on 3 January following a battle with cancer.
David Mellor, chief executive of Crowe Clark Whitehill said: “Tim was a wonderful man and a hugely respected practitioner.
“He made an enormous contribution to the private clients practice and to the wider firm during his 30 years with us.
“He was both a trusted authority in his field and a loyal and supportive colleague.”
After joining Crowe Clark Whitehill, Mr Norkett immediately began to stamp his mark on the private clients landscape, rising to join the partnership in 1999.
He was head of private clients for as long as that position has existed within the firm – both for London and nationally.
Colleagues said his extensive experience in dealing with all aspects of the UK personal tax regime for clients from all walks of life made him an invaluable member of the team.
He was well known to, and well-respected by, many both within and outside the firm for his practical and pragmatic approach to advisory work.
He leaves behind his wife Kathy and two daughters, Alice and Rebecca.
