For the latest episode of K2 Fireside Talks, we’re in the UK, as K2 Bespoke Relocation Manager, Rheannon Chaplin resumes her role as host, and welcomes K2’s Head of Global Mobility Tax Advisory and Strategic Alliances, Ben Neville-Towle to the hot seat. In the episode, Ben and Rheannon delve into Ben’s dual role to act as a bridge for the seemingly sizeable gap between relocation and tax, in addition to identifying opportunities to develop partnerships with other organisations in the Global Mobility space. They then go on to discuss the need for balancing succinctness with sensitivity when it comes to the highly emotive topic of tax; the importance of responsiveness when it comes to servicing clients; and what it was about K2 that persuaded Ben to join the ranks.
