Alex Altmann joins Lubbock Fine as Head of Firm’s new German desk
Lubbock Fine have appointed Alex Altmann as Partner and head of the firm’s new German desk.
Alex brings 18 years’ experience in advising German businesses on entering the UK market. This work has spanned a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, construction and civil engineering, e-commerce and consumer technology. In total, Alex has helped over 1,000 companies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland do business in the UK.
Alex joins Lubbock Fine after ten years at accountancy firm Blick Rothenberg where he was most recently Partner and head of the firm’s German desk.
As head of the German desk at Lubbock Fine, Alex will primarily offer advisory services to DACH-based firms on international expansion and UK market entry. The German desk will also provide outsourced tax and accounting services, including bookkeeping, payroll and VAT advisory.
Robert Morley, COO of Lubbock Fine, says: “The Partners are delighted to welcome Alex to the firm. His outstanding track record in advising German SMEs in their entry to the UK market will be a huge asset for our firm. He will be instrumental in expanding our client base in sectors like manufacturing and engineering.”
Says Alex Altmann: “I’m really excited to be heading up the new German desk at Lubbock Fine. Lubbock Fine has built a reputation for excellent client service for its UK and international clients. I look forward to help translate this accountancy and advisory excellence to DACH-based clients looking to expand into the UK.”
“Trade between Germany and the UK remains substantial so there are many opportunities for Lubbock Fine to grow its presence in this area of the market. We hope to not only help German businesses set up in the UK – but also use the UK as a platform for further international expansion.”
In addition to his tax, accounting and business advisory expertise, Alex is the founder of German Business Hub – an incubator for German SMEs expanding into the UK market. Alex is also a board member of the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany and was recently selected as a GlobalScot by Scottish Enterprise.
